For years there have been grumblings regarding the residency of City Councilman Gregg Seabury; specifically, does the at large representative actually live in Danbury?
Court documents filed by Seabury are sure to raise eyebrows and among local politicos and at the very least, prompt a more detailed inquiry into the councilman's residency by the state's election enforcement commission.
Here's a copy of Seabury's case detail (via the State of CT's Judicial Branch website), make note of his filing address (labeled in red).
For verification purposes, I decided to plug the name " Gregg Seabury" and "Danbury CT" into the database at WhitePages.com. This is a copy of the result.
While WhitePages.com did not find anything for Seabury in Danbury, it did show a listing for the Councilman that matches the address filed in the court documents.
The question remains, where exactly does Seabury reside?
If Seabury lives in Danbury, why does court documents have him listed in Fairfield?
If Seabury lives in Danbury, why did WhitePages.com return a result of "we did not find an exact match for Gregg Seabury in Danbury" when his name was entered in the website's database?
During an election year, the voters of Danbury deserve to know if their at-large councilman actually resides in the city he represents.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
