Governor Rell or the DPUC Commission itself should suspend her now,without pay preferably, and demand her resignation upon a conviction or a plea.If she refuses to resign then Rell should either fire her,if she has the authority to fire someone who is a DPUC Commissioner or the DPUC itself should fire her.

You know why she can't afford to buy instead of shoplift? Her utility bills are too high... LMAO. Have you noticed how every year, gas, electric, telephone & cable go up, but not necessarily our paychecks?

If you have a concern about your high energy costs I might suggest you contact Hartford's own Senator John Fonfara, chairperson of the legislatures Energy Committee.

On second thought, talk to the wall you are sitting next to, you will get the same result

I don't know, but only half joking when I say that at least this Bzdyra's dirty business is not work-related. Like cops losing tempers with ex-wives' invited guests, some commisioner/lawyer types relieve stress by pinching jewelry.
But, Kevin, you are certainly right in asserting that Hartford is not alone in having a less than squeaky clean ethical tradition. Check out this from D.C.
-----------------------------------
Below is the full transcript of the call:

This is, uh, Eleanor Norton, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton. Uh, I noticed that you have given to uh, other colleagues on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I am a, um, Senior Member, a twenty year veteran and am Chair of the Sub-committee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management. I’m handling the largest economic development project in the United States now, the Homeland Security Compound of three buildings being built on the uh, old St. Elizabeth’s hospital site in the District of Columbia along with uh, fifteen other, uh, sites here for, that are part of the stimulus .

I was, frankly, uh, uh, surprised to see that we don’t have a record, so far as I can tell, of your having given to me despite my uh, long and deep uh, work. In fact, it’s been my major work, uh, on the committee and sub-committee it’s been essentially in your sector.

I am, I’m simply candidly calling to ask for a contribution. As the senior member of the um, committee and a sub-committee chair, we have (chuckles) obligations to raise, uh funds. And, I think it must have been me who hasn’t, frankly, uh, done my homework to ask for a contribution earlier. So I’m trying to make up for it by asking for one now, when we particularly, uh, need, uh contributions, particularly those of us who have the seniority and chairmanships and are in a position to raise the funds.

I’m asking you to give to Citizens for Eleanor Holmes Norton, PO Box 70626, DC, 20024. I’ll send you a follow-up note with appreciation for having heard me out. Thanks again.

I wonder how much she makes? They should just fire her. As far as Fonfara goes he is a complete waste of time.

From what I have been told, her salary is $131,000 per year

A bargain. Let's get two.

$131,000? Maybe she can't pay her electric bill on that salary.

I wasn't aware that the State had Cuban Commissioners as oppossed to just Commissioners.Nevertheless the criminal law should have no racial or ethnic exceptions regarding the crime of larceny.The Judicial system should take care of her if she is guilty regardless of race,ethnicity or class.

It's not only Hartford...
Memphis, Tn: As for political corruption, reportedly nearly one public official per month over the last decade has been charged with public corruption. Recently, a former city administrator used a city account that was supposed to be for auto parts to buy big screen televisions.

Kevin:
It is true that it is not only Hartford. Is this consolation for the fact that your "hit list" is all but forgotten?

Just kidding...well sort of.

Not only Hartford, and, in fact in a few places it's even worse.
-----------------------------------
At least eight city of Bell officials were arrested Tuesday morning, a source said, as L.A. County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley prepared to announce criminal charges in the municipal salary scandal.

[Updated at 10 a.m.: Former Bell City Manager Robert Rizzo, whose high salary sparked the outrage that led to the investigations of the city, was among those arrested in the sweep.
