I'll agree with you. Rowland is probably doing this to avoid a long and messy trial in which he likely would have been found guilty. NBC30 has a "legal analyst" who just said that's what he did. Even if he won the case, he'd still have lost in public opinion.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Governor Rell. She may not be the most conservative, but IMO she's better than having a true liberal in office. Connecticut is so liberal overall that I doubt we could get a true conservative elected to begin with. She is appealing to people I know who are staunch libs...my sister-in-law is extremely liberal and says she will gladly vote for Rell if she chooses to run in 2006. Rell seems to be getting along well, but only time will tell if she can hold her own against the potential Democratic contenders.

Local news is reporting max sentence is 5 years in jail, 3years probation and $250K fine. Sentencing date March 11th.

Rell claims she doesn't want to run. She said she has no wish to hold the office. She did appoint Andrew Roreback, which was a good move. Lots of cleaning up to do. We are still waiting for the moratoriums and freezes to be lifted though.
