This afternoon, a group of residents held a protest outside City Hall to express their outrage over Mayor Boughton's arrogant refusal to hold FREE and OPEN debates with Democratic mayoral nominee Gary Goncalves.
Led by organizer Ellen DuBois, protesters armed with signs such as "No debate in a police state", "No Democracy without debate" and "What are you hiding from Danbury voters?" walked along Deer Hill Ave and West Street and made their presence known during the hour-long protest.
Before things got underway, I had a chance to interview DuBois about the protest.
