OK, here's an excellent and very timely Hartford Courant article that demonstrates CT's culture of…Read More corruption. Politicians in this state do this stuff routinely.

But, it didn't even cross his mind that it might be inappropriate while he was doing it. If it had, he would have never accepted their invitiation or paid for the trip himself upfront.

What the two school board members should have done was abstain from voting on this issue.
