Newtown First Selectman explains why town didn't back protest rallies

Newtown First Selectman Dan Rosenthal is clarifying why he didn't attend racial justice protest rallies this weekend.  He told the Newtown Bee that the gatherings were not town-supported because of the Governor's Executive Order restricting public gatherings to no more than 25 people.  Rosenthal, also a Democrat, said he was not against the idea of a protest in any other time, but right now, he is concerned about possibly spreading coronavirus.  Rosenthal also told the Bee that he can't reconcile a database of demonstrations being posted online by the State Democratic Party, while the head of the party has a limit on public gatherings.  Rosenthal told the publication that there's a difference in a local gathering, and one publicized statewide.
