Bridgeport considers municipal ID for immigrants

They are part of Bridgeport's community of undocumented immigrants that officials and activists believe will benefit from a municipal identification card program likely to be a last minute addition to the city budget. Discussions between members and Mayor Bill Finch 's office are underway to include possibly $200,000 or $300,000 set aside for rolling out IDs at some point in the coming fiscal year that begins July 1. "The administration's working with the council to ensure there are funds in the budget for it and to figure out revenue streams for it as well," Finch spokesman Brett Broesder said Friday.
