"I might have tacos when I go home..."
Conneticut Mayor, Joseph Maturo Jr. may have been a littel blasé when discussing discrimination allegations relating to the East Haven Latino community. When asked what his plans were to help the community, the Mayor said "I might have tacos when I go home, I'm not quite sure yet."
Some 500 tacos were delivered to his office Thursday after a Latino activist group called Junta for Progressive Action launched a text-for-tacos campaign to draw attention to the comment, which Maturo later apologized for.
Watching him weasel his way out of it is priceless.
