A campaign fundraiser held for Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy's gubernatorial race by the city's chief labor negotiator poses a conflict of interest, Malloy's chief critic in local government has charged.
Republican Board of Finance member Joseph Tarzia said Dennis Murphy, who held the March 10 fundraiser at his home in Bridgeport, should be treated the same as the 13 state commissioners and three deputies paid $500 each in fines for soliciting campaign contributions from subordinates to benefit Gov. M. Jodi Rell, which is prohibited by state law.
As we draw closer to the election, these stories will no doubt multiply. But its not the public driving the issue, but rival party hacks spinning furiously almost as if there are no other issues worthy of the publics attention. Somehow I think this is not a good sign of the health of our democracy. When the story ceases to be about the real problems affecting our state, and focuses on the process of a campaign, the public loses.

It's easy and god knows our press today LOVES easy.I Expect horserace stories to dominate because CT newspapers News divisions have been slashed to the bone.
At least the 2 Democrats running for Governor have Joint appearences and engage each other.Lieberman just turned down another oppoptunity to debate and is flat out hiding from the people of CT.
I don't know about you Patricia Rice but I don't OWE a thing to Liebermam and could care Less what hacks like you have to say because you've not made one issue argument for voting for Lieberman.Lieberman himself doesn't and "all the important people are doing it" is not a serious argument although it may be your best and only one.
Poor Kenny boy was left with the argument that Lieberman Agreed with "almost everything Mr. Lamont says'when he was "pinch hitting" for his boss in Guilford.Unfortunately for your side the DTC members were listening and almost laughed poor Kenny boy out of the meeting.
As to who Mr. Lamont is,He's the Democratic Senate candidate WITHOUT the blood of over 2300 American kids, 18 who were from this state,dripping from his hands.
we'll se if "The majoity of Democrats in this state have accepted that Joe's position on the war is different than theirs but and are open minded enough to look at Joe's entire record and not just a single issue." WON"T WE!
Thats what the process is all about.It's a shame you don't believe in democracy even as much as YOUR AND JOE'S President,W,does.
No Patricia I didn't make your point and I'm not going to let Lieberman Or You get away with disrespecing and dishonoring the 2300+ kids Killed by declaring the war "JUST ONE ISSUE".
The Iraq War is the first 2300+ issues to me and the majority of Americans and Nutmeggers and every time you try to minimize its impact I'm going to post this list.

You'll notice there are no relitives of Joe Lieberman on this list or any other list of war casualties of any war this country ever fought.Can you say CHICENHAWK?
Is there any doubt now that Pathetic Pat is really a Lieberman Campaign Staffer.You clons are just TOO obvious.
Bruce,
I'm gonna guess it's not Kenny Boy only because it's Easter after all.
