Took him long enough. I seem to recall around Christmastime he was caught with his hand in the till?

My folks live in CT, and they're take is that Rowland didn't do anything illegal -- the legislature was trying to change/tighten the state ethics laws after the fact in order to "get" Rowland.

Rowland is a RINO, so far as I am aware, so it is perhaps a case of the liberals eating their own. I used to get all sorts of information from 2Trievers about the state of Connecticut, and it wasn't pretty.

I've been following this in the local press, and I'm not so sure. I think the most favorable interpretation for Rowland, and giving him every benefit of the doubt, might be that he might not have crossed the line into illegality, but was so close to it that his shadow was well over into it. There was surely the appearance of impropriety. Neutral or less sympathetic observers might reasonably conlude he crossed the line. I think it's that close.

Ditto marks here. Rowland became the target in the fall of 2003. He was the sole defender for the taxpayers in an off-election year when the demorats and unions wanted to do nothing but screw the taxpayers. He stood up and fought off all the tax increases. They had to get him. Watch for the biggest increase when the demorats get the control of the governorship. Time for me to look to relocate OUT of CT as soon as possible.

P.S. God wasn't there to help Rowland, because Rowland was pro-abortion. He got what he was due.
