At least the food was donated to the soup kitchen. To bad this radical group didn't spend more time feeding the homeless americans and less time acting like fools. What, no work today??? What a waste of time. By the way, I love tacos!!!

Typical Rosie answer tisk tisk,

Gee I wish I had known the tacos were being delivered we could have gone and had dinner with the mayor of East Haven.

Rosie, What else would you say,
How did this start Rosie?
The Mayor made his true colors come out,
Brain first, Then mouth, Thats how it should work.
I still put the blame on the new Town Attorney he should have been by his side all day with everything going on with the EHPD.
He should have been aware that Maturo could become a loose canon with Town Hall indented with many reporters.
Sorry just the way i feel.

Think Attorney Zullos are a layin low cause the officer Zullo that got pinched by the FBI is a nephew to father and a cousin to Lill Zullo. This gots to hit the family pretty hard. This young officer gonna need the help of the whole zullo clan. such a shame. young fella ruined his whole career by a listen to dumb gallo. these boys takin the fall and gallo gettin off with nothin.

The LEARN committee needs to immediately be dissolved. First of all Gallo (assumed co-conspirator 1) is on it. #2 Maturo (the mayor who brought cc#1 back and made the "taco" comment that's making EH look horrible nationwide) is on it. #3 another member that's on this committee is the husband to the woman who hit the WW2 vet (you all know the rest with that story, right). The truth is that LEARN committee with these above mentioned members on it is nothing more than the same old players looking to play the same old game. That game can't fly anymore I hope someone with some authority is doing something about this.

Speak for yourself Maturo. I personally know how to handle sensitive situations with dignity and tact. The challenge facing our town right now is how to move forward with the egg on our face that is a direct result of your poor judgment.

deport the illegals....

So do the Italians get crazy now since he mentioned spagetti??????

Let's send pizzas or spaghetti and meatballs to the radical group!

This is just another example that racist and prejudice is still alive and kicking in our country. White people you are no better then anyone else, we all are on this earth and you have to get over it. Just for your information, humanity started in Africa, white people your blood is black. Your skin changed. I am a first generation American and in my lifetime I have been called many names by (white) people, I have had to ball up my hands and defend myself and my race. I wish I could say I got gratification in hitting back but sadly you cant beat hate out of someone.

So its illegal to target illegal people?

@Gregg, you know very well why, next time you go out to eat at a Restaurant look in the kitchen, when you stay at a Hotel look to see who cleaned your room, when you purchase any vegetable in the grocery store guess who picked it. look around you, all those Homes & Buildings in your City were Constructed by wetbacks hands, and we can go on & on... who's the dumb one??
Pedro & Family,

Just so you ALL know......I'm not prejudice.....I dont like folks in my country illegally....taking our money from us and sending it to Mexico! Not cool and I dont care who doesnt like my comment! Fact is fact!

words are only words! your illegal immigrants!kick them out of my country and i will by you all the steak and lobster you can eat! viva italino!!!!!!!

If he was asked what is he going to do for the greek cummunty & he answered he'probably have souvlaki or mousaka I bet mario would have just laughed it off I hate mario for foing this to this man he just maid a big deal cause he's of latin desent

Im with u bob

Does anybody have a direct site fo the mayor I want to give him some words of encouragement

Clueless I am no racist but it is clear to that the any minority group mexicans, blacks, homosexuals are treated with a form of reverse discrimination. Where is the rights for white who happens to be the majority in this country. I do not believe any people should have an unfair advantage over another group of people. But it saddens me that we allow illegal's or other criminals because of race get a political correct card. What about what made this country so great that every race of people of people want to leave their country and start here. I ask who made this country what it is? It was a group effort but majority was of the white race that is being blasted for all kinds of attacks but what about the attacks upon us? I can only say wrong is wrong mexicans here or any other people here illegally should be deported, its against the law. If any race from white to black do anything illegal no excuses,no justification of their actions arrest them. We as a nation must realize all mexicans,blacks,whites,asians the ones that do right be treated right, the ones that break the laws of this country that so happens to be a majority white country 62% be judged by that law.

Even the mexicans in Texas have a serious problem with illegal imigration.
We have bankrupted states, schools and hospitals across this nation because of this.
Just because you were born here should not make you a citizen, if your parents are illegal then so are you.
That mayor is proud and should be proud as an American.
We are not here so others from other nations can try to make us feel guilty for what we say and feel.
I am multi ratial from birth but have forefathers that have fought in every war since our revolution, that have lived and died for this country and lived the real true American expierince, so yes I feel I have the right to speak out.
I dont know and have never met anyone in my life that does not feel the same way I do except for the illgals or children from illegals or new citizens that feel they should have a right to speak out or sway how we feel about our own country.
I say this to anyone that disagrees, if you want the illegals to be here then sponser them your self and not let them be a burden to our already shaky economic situation.
Wr are letting our handicap and elderly go with out to have monies to help these people.
Why should we ask our true Americans to go with out so they can share social programs with any one not from here.
Why do we BURDEN a 70 year old widow with school taxes to send illegal children to school or lay off teachers because they dont speak spanish. the only people that are crying about this are the illegals themseves.

Why is it that, here in the US, latinos are always thought of as Mexicans? Nothing against Mexicans, but the rest of Latinos that are not Mexican, must not like being clumped as one race. What a show of ignorance!

You also forgot that the Bleeding Heart Libs are also crying about this along with the Maturo haters. BTW great comment Charles.

Don Charles

THIS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE REPEATED HERE IT IS FROM CHARLES

Is like the blind guiding the blind,everyone talks about my country this ,my country that ,and the funny Part is that they are all lost in their own ignorance.

No one should be persecuted or prosecuted for their race but unfortunately the illegal persons happen to be of one race . if a group of illegal persons was my race i wouldn't have a problem being asked to see my id as long as the police or law enforcement agency was not harassing me or doing it in a rude or condescending way, Rosie and Kristen have a point they are illegal and should be treated as such. we as american don't see that as a problem but in fact its a crime and should be policed. Nevertheless the mayor was being a jerk and he is insensitive to the needs of the legal Hispanic citizens in his city. i think the smart alec remark was lessened by the idiot group that sent the mayor the taco cause one they turned him into a hero by donating the tacos and 2 ignorance and stupidity shouldn't be answered with ignorance and stupidity cause nothing gets accomplished. do better. BTW i am An African American 26 year old man from Detroit.

Italians are a minority in this country also, other white people considered them to be of bad moral substance most are seen as blacks with white skin same as the jews that are here. I for one do not let other people believe cloud my judgement. We must see people who break the law as lawbreakers no matter what race they are apart of bernie madoff is a criminal that happens to be a jew. I can go to every nationality, race of people and show you killers,criminals of every kind. Let us not choose to be blind to mexicans who break the law for a better way of life in the united states because mexico is corrupt. Blacks selling drugs want a better way of life.white collar crimes in the corporate world mostly done by white people want a better way of life. Gang members of all races want a better way of life. I say enough with what is dividing this Great country of ours a person who breaks the law breaks the law no exceptions to the rule. Freedom of speech no matter if it is not popular is not a crime. Our priority is all wrong based on race vs the truth are you breaking the law. I can tell you this injustice will not continue long. Mexicans are breaking the law which are illegally over here, same as any other people that have not came by the right channels . We americans all inclusive must not allow what is hurting our ccountry to continue the criminal element will divide us into racial rooms to fit their own agenda.

The Irish ,Italian and the German have a a short memory ,take a bit of time and read about yourself ,who is in your family tree.???

this is the new moor invasion in this town and state[ remember the moors invaded europe in the 14 and 15 th century they were north african and arab descent get some prayer warriors out there i m from next door north haven

Keeps me laughing !!

Racism is racism no matter how to "couch" the terms used to spout it. America is a land of immigrants. Its message has always been that it is a haven for any whom may need one due to religious, political, color prejudices,etc.. Fast forward to the 21st century and now the message has changed to suit the prejudices of those who see people in terms of color, ethnicity, religion, etc. This mayor spouted a prejudicial statement. He is wrong. The people who donated the tacos could have used violence, they did not, and the message was received. I do not understand how he can be excused. If you are elected to any office, you are aware of how your words can have an effect. He didn't spout this rhetoric when he was trying to be elected, did he? Then, he knew that his words could be considered offensive and he said them anyway. Vote him out of office when his time is up and find someone who sees the "Ideal America", NOT, this America that is being touted by racists whom use political or religious jargon to justify or obscure the issue(s).

Thomas did you just made that one up?

Whats next Alexander invaded BOston!

aren't the american indians the only real americans and everybody else just immigrints?

@ Chacha del Rio, I am not racist, you don't know anything about me. My problem, again, is people that are here ILLEGALLY, which by the way is a CRIME. I have nothing against hardworking people, who pay their taxes like the rest of us, who don't take handouts, welfare and education that MY tax dollars are paying for, when they pay NOTHING into it. I do not want to support someone else's family...I have my own. My relatives came here LEGALLY, why is that so hard to comprehend?

I hate having to "Press 1" for English.

I love tacos...I wish I got 2000 tacos just for saying what I was having for dinner. Mmmm...TACOS.

the moors started their first invasion of hispania in a region of spain along with the berbers in 711 a. d. i don t believe in re incarnation but this scenario in east haven is very similar where down the road the white man will take a back seat to the aliens with the help of angelic forces unless the natives here surrender to the God that hates sin.

I too have a VERY good job and I have NO anger issues , but when I see PEOPLE like you spew the crap like i see on this page makes me sick! BTW I make over 200k a year MY husband ( who is hispanic) and born here !!!!! is worth 100 MIL!!! so go eat your TACOS!! I have people to see and work to do , not hang around ALL day and comment on patch ALL day !!!! Thank You !!

i watched the the whole interview and a follow up, he said that he meant that he would invest in a local ethnic business and his message was lost in his attempt at humor in his crisis, fail on him but fail on every one else for not hearing him out in full/....lol

His attempting to apologize isn't enough. Consequences should be initiated...preferably removing him from his position. (A leopard doesn't change its spots!)

I guess CitizenVoice lost her voice...hard to eat crow, huh?

Hey, I like tacos too!

To JJ and others who still don't know. Just because you came across the ocean and set up shop - with a gun, and still holding with a gun AND paying no rent to the tribes, doesn't mean people who's grandparents+ were here pre-Columbus cannot go all the way through to Canada or visit relatives points north. This is their land. You're still just a visitor. Lose the gun. Ask to stay. Get permission. Then we'll talk. I love the Taco strategy. Heck, I might try the fry bread strategy.

Illegals refuse to abide by the immigration laws of the United States. Lax control of illegals has allowed illegals to take over the jobs of hard working American citizens. A legal immigrant has to show ability to pay their own way and have sponsors proving that they are here for good not for economic windfalls. Why is it unfair for the United States to have the same rights as other countries (Mexico included) to strict immigration control.

I wonder why joe maturo has such issues with Latinos??? Maybe because before he hired his daughter to work in our town hall where our tax dollars pay her salary, right before that she was running the streets in fair haven smoking crack with every immagrint she could get to pay for her habit. But no worries everyone she works in the section 8 office, receives section 8 and gets a pretty good salary. Pays to be joe maturos kid.. Live off the state and get a town job, not bad

Why is that now in the US anybody of Latin American descent is considered to be a minorities(Even if they are fully white such as Marco Rubio or actress Joanna Garcia)?Why aren't they just looked at another white ethnic like people of Italians,Greeks,Portuguese or French ancestry are?In the not so distant past anybody from Latin America who was not black fully or predominantly Amerindian was considered to be a white ethnic(Like people of aforementioned ancestries)are.What happened?

The "elephant" in the room is acting out; perfect.
You people need to stop playing your word games and pretending to be offended constantly. Then again, I guess if it works in your favor, why would you.
Latinos are the fastest growing minority in the country, they are responsible for the majority of immigration concerns and crimes related to immigration. But police aren't supposed to pay any attention? There are a LOT of good hard working Latino people, but many of them are also illegal; many are legal as well. I should think that good hard working legal latinos would want the government to sort out those causing the problems. Perhaps if people came to this country to be "Americans" instead of simply spreading their own culture here and fractionalizing the country we wouldn't have this problem.

Rosie I guest you r really mad, You didn't get any?

The illegal immigrants and the radical groups that supports them are a cancer to this great country of ours. These arrogant people are basically spitting in our faces and the faces of LEGAL immigrants who abides by our immigration laws. Become legal first!

Your Country, what exactly have YOU done for this Country? And have you spent any time in other Countries and live their way of life? Get on your Knees and thank that you are not the one's you are now talking down on, Agree an "Illegal" has broken the USA law of being here W/O papers. Now other Countrys have "Illegals here also ? But then again they have not sent any Food , so ? One shout out for rosie, you have too much time to be on here as much, or has an illegal taken you job ? If you all paid attention who is really to blame for how this Country is,look at your elected officials YOU put into office and have been Robbing us Blind, and getting filty rich too.If you all continue to biotxh and moan, at each other worry about litte things , Your elected officials have got you where they want , not paying Attention of the lousy job they are doing to make OUR country the best ever! Pray you never have to go to war , if you look around you then, there will be that person of race you hate now , covering you azz to keep you alive and get you back home .To hate again or grown up to know what America The Free is all about.Come on folks spend as much time as you do here and more to get the right people in congress to get all of us ,Jobs < homes, Education , fair market prices on good products. And keep them doing their job WE sent them there to do. CARE for the People, Not their Pockets .

Now that we put EAst haven in the map ,let's use a more appropriate name for it
What about EAST HELL , CT . USA

Any of you biggots want to disclose why you relocated to Southern California. My So Cal all races get along. I did not know prejudice until I left California and experienced it in the south. Sounds like lots of people on this board left their country or state to live a better life in California only to bring their stupid crap here. This is directed to all BIGGOTS, hispanic, white, asian, black etc. GROW UP or go home!!!

Taco Tuesday at RUBIO'S!!!
