As fallout continues regarding last night's Democratic town committee endorsement reversal continues, Democratic Mayoral candidate John Esposito lashed out against chairperson Gartner and committee memebrs going as far as accusing them of corrupting the selection process.
In his remarks to the media, Esposito also promising a primary so that the voters will make the final decision on who will lead the Democratic slate in November.
I wasn’t surprised and expected the DDTC would endorse Roberto at that meeting, and I’m not loosing any sleep over it because I know the Danbury voters, and I’m going to force a primary and let them decide who the democratic candidate will be, not the members of the DDTC who have corrupted the process because many of them are elected officials and have spent the last few years recruiting DDTC members that will only support their people.
Neither myself or Mr Lawrence stood a chance at a endorsement or will get the nomination on July 20th.

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.
