Mark Boughton is the mayor of Danbury and, in 2010, was the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor. He’s also considered a likely candidate for governor in 2014 and has already formed an exploratory campaign committee.
But he has a potentially embarrassing problem. A former mayoral assistant and longtime friend, Wendy DaCosta, has filed a federal lawsuit over her firing. She claims that she was terminated after sexual harassment complaints were brought against her, but that Boughton and others in city government weren’t punished for similar behavior.
