Go ahead and have a blast. It is about time someone brought this issue out into the open. Danbury's master plan is, according to state statute, nearly 10 years overdue. Danbury residents deserve more than a hit or miss approach to development. They deserve a well thought out plan which will keep our city a desirable place to live and work into the next century.
Common sense says it is long overdue, and so does state law.
Lieberman freely admits that the current statute gives independent counsels too much power. He hopes to rein in future independent counsels by enacting tighter jurisdictional requirements. Lieberman's suggested changes fail to address the unconstitutionality of the statute. The statute steals prosecutorial power away from the executive branch of government and places it in the hands of unelected officials. Such shifting of power upsets the delicate system of checks and balances that the Framers wrote into the U.S. Constitution more than 200 years ago.
