DELAURO ON EAST HAVEN MAYOR’S COMMENTS

Washington, DC— Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) released the following remarks today in response to the remarks made by East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo:

"I am appalled by the comments made by East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo yesterday. His comments have no place in a civil society and they do not reflect the values of the good residents of East Haven. Mayor Maturo has insulted the Latino community in Connecticut. I am very disappointed by Mayor Maturo's comments and am glad that he has apologized for these insensitive remarks."
