If you think traffic on Mill Plain Road during rush hour is a nightmare, wait till you see what New York has in state for area commuters next month.
Today, the New York State Department of Transportation announced that two bridges in Westchester County will be closed for repairs next month. Unfortunately, the bridge repairs will result in increased traffic between Route 6 in the Town of Southeast and exit 1 in Danbury.

RAW VIDEO: Worse Danbury Democratic Town Committee convention ever
Thursday, August 01, 2013 Time: 11:52 PM
Come and watch the Danbury Democratic Town Committee at it's darkest and most pathetic moment.
No Democratic Town Committee endorsed candidate for Mayor.
No Democratic Town Committee endorsed candidate for Treasurer.
No Democratic Town Committee endorsed candidate for City Council in the 3rd ward.
No Democratic Town Committee endorsed candidate for City Council in the 7rd ward.
Food for thought to those in Danbury who are disgusted with the ineptness of this town committee as well as the Democratic caucus as a whole on the City Council.
Sorry for the shaky camera, I had no intention on publishing the entire video (actually, I only went to test out a new tripod I purchased). After witnessing this God-awful event, I felt it necessary for everyone to endure the pain.
Don't worry...after taking a LONG break from reporting on the nonsense in Danbury, I'm happy to say that I'll be back to full speed REAL soon...and trust me, just because I haven't been writing on what's happening in Danbury doesn't mean that I haven't been paying attention on what's happening in Danbury.

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.
