EAST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - The office of a Connecticut mayor who
made a poorly received quip about his city's Latino community has
been blasted with prank phone calls and a delivery of hundreds of
tacos.

East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. has apologized several times but resisted calls for his resignation over a comment that he "might have tacos" as a way to reach out to Latinos.

The comment came this week as the FBI arrested four East Haven
police officers described as "bullies with badges" who harassed the town's Hispanics.

Maturo held regular meetings Thursday as Connecticut's Latino and Puerto Rican Affairs Commission called on him to resign.
