Another piece of great news from the CT Legislature: In a special session, a compromise ethics bill passed with overwhelming margins. Having negotiated a compromise that stalled the bill at the end of the regular session, judges will now be given the option of revoking state officals and employee pensions if convicted of corruption related crimes. Another round of congratulations for all of those who talked to legislators about this controversial piece of legislation.
