Danbury blog The Hat City Blog reports that Mayor Mark Boughton will indeed run for Governor. This is based on their review of Internet records revealing that Boughton or someone representing him registered the domain name BoughtonForCT.com on Wednesday, January 20th. It’s claimed that Boughton has little name recognition outside of the Danbury area but people in his neck of the woods know him as a social media maven who is actively blogging, tweeting, and Facebooking on topics such as whether the Beatles or the Stones are better. With his geniality and record of fiscal success in Danbury, we think “Mayor Mark” would prove to be a formidable candidate.

A few things you might have missed while suffusing your bloodstream with sugar over the past couple of weeks:
¶ A Muslim prisoner sues the State in Federal Court for halal food.
¶ A good idea to be “prayed up” before going to Bristol Hospital?
¶ A racketeering suit claims that the Catholic Diocese of Norwich conspired to cover up sexual abuse by its priests.
¶ Senator Dodd makes Judicial Watch’s list of the most corrupt politicians of 2008.
¶ The economy continues to do things, mostly in the bad things category. Says the Connecticut Post, “Eight companies filed Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notices with the state Labor Department in December of this year, reporting closings and employment cuts that will affect more than 3,400 workers. The cuts are not limited to any particular industry, either, hitting a law firm, package carrier, telecommunications company and information technology and manufacturing companies. Not all the layoffs will take place in Connecticut, as office and facility closings by law firm Thelen LLP and DHL Express include other states. The December cuts also were spread throughout the state, but included DHL’s closing and cuts in Danbury and Norwalk operations and Proctor & Gamble’s closing of its hair care plant in Stamford. Stanley Works filed the most recent notice, informing the state on Dec. 21 that it is closing its Clinton factory and cutting 56 jobs.”
Enjoy the day… be sure to pray!
Good news for Danburians – you live in Connecticut’s safest city:
Danbury tops the list of the safest cities in the state, according to a ranking of the safest — and most dangerous — cities in the nation.
The rankings of cities with populations greater than 75,000 were recently released as part of the “City Crime Ratings” book published annually by CQ Press. Danbury came in at No. 55 of all cities in the nation and first in Connecticut.
“Danbury is fortunate to employ some of the best police officers in our area, who show a deep commitment to the safety of our city’s citizens and visitors,” Mayor Mark Boughton said.
“Our city is proud of this ranking, and we will continue focusing our efforts and commitment to our officers and their needs.”
Stamford came in second of Connecticut cities and No. 71 in the nation. Hartford brought up the rear as the most dangerous city in the state; its national rank is 359 of 385.
Police Chief Al Baker said Danbury has consistently done well on the rankings over the years and often fell in one of the top two spots for the state. Stamford, however, has come out ahead of Danbury in past years.
Read more here. Continue to pray for Hartford and New Haven, which reportedly was not ranked because it does not report certain categories of crime to the FBI.
