Ivon, Liz was terrific. Invite her again soon! She asked good questions and didn't let the Mayor get away with total nonsense.
Liz " didn't let the Mayor get away with total nonsense."
What an insane comment.
The Mayor was great as usual.
Good to hear there are upcomming changes to Kennedy Park, which should discourage the gathering of illegal day laborers.
Many of the calls addressed illegal immigration, more proof that this issue weighs heavily on the minds of the people.
Liz did not fully answer the question about why she often refers to illegal aliens as 'immigrants', and she knows it. She is the one who gets away with nonsense and is dishonest and misleading. If she wants to gain credibility as a reporter she needs to report the facts and not blur the lines of illegal aliens and immigrants.

The police chief needs to update himself on some legal issues. When a person comes from any country, if they bring with them a legal international drivers license, they are allowed to drive in the United States as long as they carry their passport while driving.
Seems like Anon 8:10 is no other than cable access groupie Frank from Bethel. Your bigoted tone comes across in print just as well as it comes across when you call in to EVERY SHOW on Comcast.
The mayor was completely dishonest, which is par for the course.
1. He lied about the parade ordinance's impact on spontaneous parades.
2. He lied about his knowledge on the Cotswald project (he had a chance to buy that property years ago but he brushed it off).
3. He lied about not using the immigration debate in order to get his parade ordinance though the council.
I could go on and on but it's pointless...Mayor Boughton will go down as the most dishonest, arrogant mayor in the history of Danbury.

I think Alvin better be careful.
He may lose his job as host of the show!
