"There's probably 80% of the legislators here have some form of corruption, whether in their background or right now."
- Legislative intern, April 15, 2008, speaking on ethics reform on CT-N
Hat tip to Spazeboy for getting this four minute clip onto YouTube!
It's worth the four minutes of your time to watch this.

I can't wait to readh his book!
ReplyDeleteOu4r wonderful Speaker, Mr. Amann, should have a few chapters devoted to him.
I wonder what percentage of our TC is corrupt?
I would estimate about five ninths.
ReplyDeleteAnd exactly why was that worth 4 minutes of my time?
ReplyDeleteTim-your anti-establishment harangue is old and tired. If you can't legislate changes, then what???
9:05 I actually think that he really overstated his case. For instance, his support for corruption seemed to be partly placed Lebeau calling him a "lowlife." Now that's rude, but it's not corruption. But I thought it was interesting... and his cool, matter-of-fact comment about "expecting a response like that from a politician" was pretty funny IMO.
ReplyDeleteAnd my post doesn't mention anything about being "anti-establishment." So I'm unclear why you make that comment.
As for legislating changes... less than two weeks ago, I got the Council to take action (if timid) on the bubble.
I do what I can, but recognize I'm only one of nine.
anon 9:05 What are you talking about? What has the majority done?
