Nowacki Sues New Canaan First Selectman

NEW CANAAN, CT- Michael Nowacki, who ran an unsuccessful petitioning bid for first selectman last year is suing First Selectman Robert Mallozzi III and his executive assistant with a claim that his constitutional rights were violated.

Nowacki is representing himself and said that his rights were violated when Mallozzi didn't participate in a debate before the election, according to the New Canaan Advertiser.

Mallozzi said he wouldn't give Nowacki a forum or associate with him by participating in a debate and said he didn't think his rants and ravings deserved a forum.

He also claims that the two didn't respond to requests for him to use Town Hall as a meeting space for televised forums. Nowacki also claimed in the suit that Mallozzi violated his fourth amendment rights when he gave a State of the Town address at a League of Women voters event.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court.

Mallozzi won re-election by a roughly 10-1 margin in November 2015.

Nowacki has sued the town officials before, including a lawsuit that named 55 individuals and companies in 2012.
