Resignation?

The Taco turmoil is reaching far and wide tonight as media outlets around the United States and the world are picking up on the story. Locally a Facebook group has been formed to call for Mayor Maturo's resignation, a local Republican has called for Maturo to step down, Democratic Town Chairman has demanded Maturo's resignation, and state and local politicians have taken the Mayor to task for his comment. These included statements from:

Governor Malloy:
"The comments by East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo are repugnant. They represent either a horrible lack of judgment or worse, an underlying insensitivity to our Latino community that is unacceptable. Being tired is no excuse. He owes an apology to the community, and more importantly, he needs to show what he's going to do to repair the damage he's done. And he needs to do it today."

Representative James Albis:
"Mayor Maturo's comment was highly inappropriate." The question of resignation was "ultimately up to the Mayor."

Senator Len Fasano:
"I don't believe Mayor Joe Maturo should resign. And I know that Mayor Maturo knows miss-spoke yesterday and regrets what he said. But I do believe he needs to unequivocally apologize for his unfortunate comments."

Dan McCann published a full statement on his blog calling for Mayor Maturo's resignation.

The Hartford Courant published an editorial entitled "The Mayor Is An Idiot".
