Danbury Mayor hires gubernatorial campaign manager for jobs at City Hall

There are some vacancies at Danbury City Hall, and a person filling the positions has drawn some criticism during this election season.  Republican incumbent Mayor Mark Boughton, who is seeking reelection in November, hired his gubernatorial campaign chairman.  Marc Dillon is being paid $75,000 to be community services coordinator and project excellence director.  The employees holding those positions left in August and this spring, respectively.  Democratic challenger Chris Setaro called the hire concerning and that it the impression that people of Danbury are paying for Boughton’s campaign.  Dillon previously was press secretary for the Connecticut General Assembly and chief of staff in Stratford.  The $45,000-per-year community services coordinator job was vacated by Austin Samuelson.  The  $120,000-per-year project excellence director job was vacated by Stephen Nocera.
