IT'S ON
NOW WHAT?
After all of the buildup it was somewhat
anti-climatic, but history was made at the Capitol today. The panel that may
recommend the possibly impeachment of Gov. Rowland was announced:
The Committee Of Inquiry
Rep. John Wayne Fox, D-Stamford, committee co-chair
Rep. Jim Abrams, D-Meriden
Rep. Jackie Cocco, D-Bridgeport
Rep. Wade Hyslop, D-New London
Rep. Mike Lawlor, D-East Haven
Rep. Arthur O'Neill, R-Southbury, committee co-chair
Rep. Bill Hamzy, R-Terryville
Rep. Ray Kalinowski, R-Durham
Rep. Claudia Powers, R-Greenwich
Rep. Ruth Fahrbach, R-Windsor
I know all but one of the committee members (Rep. Ray Kalinowski is a freshman, ex Secret Service guy). It doesn't appear that any of these folks have political axes to grind against the governor so he can probably get a fair shake. But I also don't think any of these representatives would hesitate to lower the hammer on Rowland if it comes to that
TIME, TIME, TIME
I have been saying for some time that "time" is Rowland's best ally. And everyday I see this story losing some of the intense media steam we saw earlier. Oh, plenty in the press corps continue to froth at the mouth at any sniff of Rowland blood, polls or departures (David Boomer) but unless new earth shattering revelations are uncovered, Rowland has survived the 1st quarter of his Political Super Bowl. The second quarter begins Monday with the Special Session to empower the new investigative committee. And all eyes are on February 4th when the guv gives his much anticipated budget address in the Hall of the House of Representatives at the State Capitol. I wonder what the Federal investigators currently looking at Rowland think about all of this stuff going on around him?
