Hope he doesn't let the door hit his @ss on the way out.
He must be a Republican! A crapweasel dem would never resign, he'd just put this behind him, move on and view it as a badge of courage.
Finally. Corupt is corupt. Fry him.
couldn't happen to a nicer schmuck! I don't care if he IS a republican - he's bad news. I said so from the get-go.
bye-bye so-long farewell.
They didn't put the (R) in the first sentence. I'm amazed!
If he had switched to the Democrat party, the legislature and the Hartford Courant would have never mentioned the lies and gifts. No one would ever know.
And Rowland would remain in office.

Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
Cashier him first-thing tomorrow morning and give him all that would be due to him through the end of the month BUT take the 'power of the pen' away from him as fast as possible - there's no way of knowing what he could do in the next week-plus. He could exec-order things that would make your head spin between now and then. With all the possible things he's capable of doing, he could tie-up the legislation for years trying to undo it all (not easy if he signs a lot of 'gimmie's').
Also, if he has a passport it should also be confiscated until all this matter is cleared up (_I_ think he's a definite risk-of-flight case - politically, he has nothing left to live for and could try to escape prosecution: he's DONE just about everything else).
(personally, I hope they're both found tomorrow morning with their heads in the oven)
