THE JI HITS THE GOV HARD
BUT IS THE PAPER ON THE RIGHT
TRACK?
The Journal Inquirer writes a deep and lengthy piece
accusing Gov. Rowland of streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetching the truth in his
knowledge of all things Enron/CRRA. Don Michak is a very good reporter. However
I may have to read this story again, because I'm not sure he's totally made the
case against the governor this time.

ALREADY FOLKS ARE RESPONDING TO THIS ONE
A reader writes that I'm 'buggin' with the defense of the governor on this one!
"Doesn't make the case??
C'mon dawg. Read those denials by Pagani at the end of the article.
Either everyone else around Rowland is lying/exaggerating, or Pagani
is. And the donations to the RGA, and award payments or success
payments or whatever they were called...
I guess the standard for scandal is pretty high in Connecticut,
considering recent events (Bridgeport and Waterbury). But nothing
seems to stick to the guv."
Here is what I have to say:
I talked to the governor in New Haven at great lengths today about this whole deal (I'm going to see if I can get the interview posted on the site, or least the audio) He says he's "guilty" of trying to promote and attract fuel cell business in the state but that's it. As I said I'll try to get my interview with him posted to the site. But to my "dawg" that wrote I still think while the JI has linked together a number of circumstantial pieces of evidence to try and support their conclusions, I still have not seen the smoking gun to directly implicate the governor's direct involvement in any of these deals.
