Follow Up of the Day: Following East Haven mayor Joseph Maturo’s insensitive comments toward the Latino community, a local branch of the Reform Immigration for America organization made sure he got his just tacos.
“I might have tacos when I go home” the mayor told a reporter when asked what he plans to do for the Latino community in light of four local police officers being arrested by the feds for racial profiling.
The activist group Junta for Progressive Action decided to give the mayor what he wanted, and launched a campaign promising to send Maturo a taco for every text they received.
500 tacos have been delivered thus far.
“The town of East Haven has received an abundance of tacos as a result of the campaign initiated by the group ‘Reform Immigration for America,” the mayor’s office said in a statement. “Recognizing that there are many in need in our state, we have arranged for all of the tacos to be donated to local soup kitchens and pantries, including the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen in New Haven.”
The mayor previously apologized for his remark, blaming it on fatigue from a long workday. He insists he has no plans to resign at this time.
