REP. ANDRES AYALA OUTRAGED BY EAST HAVEN MAYOR RACIAL COMMENTS

HARTFORD, CT – State Representative Andres Ayala (D-Bridgeport) released the following statement regarding the racial comments issued by East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo:

“I am completely appalled by East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo’s racially charged comments. We are not going to rest until he issues an apology to the entire Latino community and further tells us about his plan to amend a reasonable relationship with our community. It is outrageous to hear a public elected official make remarks that offend and hurt the very same people he serves. His lack of sensitivity and poor judgment is unacceptable.”
