The dumbbells in city hall are already getting responses from state ethics and the attorney general's office that they have no authority over the conduct of municipal officials. I could have told them they only have authority over state agencies and state employees, but these dumbbells are too ignorant to have known that!
HARTFORD: The chief state's attorney's office confirmed that it received O'Brien's Chief of Staff complaint, but, as is its practice, would say nothing more. The State Elections Enforcement Commission had no comment either.
The Office of State Ethics released a statement saying: "In general, the (state) code of ethics is limited to state and not municipal officials. The OSE has limited jurisdiction over candidates for public office in the case of allegations that a 'quid pro quo' occurred."
Attorney General George Jepsen's office said it was reviewing the information, but added that the conduct of municipal officials doesn't generally fall under its authority.
And ANOTHER self created problem for O'Derwood to try to solve.
ReplyDeleteA top secret agency that will not admit even to reporters that there is an investigation?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fairy tale.
As liberal left as the Courant is, I am still surprised they would print such and obviously made up story without any confirmation.
This story shows just how in the tank for O'Brien the Courant really is!

You really have to take notice, when their own corporation council refers to them as a "bunch of dumbbells".
