Misrepresentation of public Measures is easily overthrown, by representing public Measures truly; when they are honest, they ought to be publicly known, that they may be publicly commended, but if they are knavish or pernicious, they ought to be publicly exposed, in order to be publicly detested.

- Cato The Elder 234149 BC, Roman Senator, Diplomat, and Censor, Letter Number 15, Of Freedom of Speech

The Public Trust is a solemn and sacred duty. Members of the public are elected by their peers to go on to Hartford to represent them in matters of state. Such a role requires dedicated attention and keen insight and alertness and a respect for our legislative and legal systems, not to mention your constituents. However, when it comes to the Connecticut State Legislature a history of past member conduct is more fitting for a correctional institution than a legislative body.

• Patricia Dillon (D)-2006, (after being busted for drunken driving): “I am profoundly sorry for the lack of judgment and good sense which led to my recent arrest for DWI. I apologize for the embarrassment or distress I have caused my constituents and family. My actions could have resulted in dire consequences” (This was an eloquent and soapy way of saying Rep. Dillon could have killed somebody while driving drunk, but miraculously did not).

• Brian O’Connor (D): Arrested December 2008 for DUI on Route 9 in Haddam after a speeding stop; failed field sobriety tests and later entered an alcohol education program.

• Bruce “Zeke” Zalaski (D): December 2011, found asleep at the wheel of a car with keys in the ignition in Bristol, and charged with DUI after failing field sobriety tests.

• Christina Ayala (D): Night after her 2012 primary win, charged with hit-and-run/evading responsibility; later charged with slapping her boyfriend; 2014: Charged with multiple counts of fraudulent voting, primary violations, and evidence tampering for using nonresident addresses.

• Victor Cuevas (D): 2015: charged with operating under the influence and failure to drive at a reasonable distance after crashing while intoxicated on I-84.

• David Alexander (D): March 2015 DUI in Windsor Locks; July 2016 DUI after weaving on I-84 in West Hartford and failing field sobriety tests; November 2016 charged with third-degree assault on an elderly person and second-degree breach of peace after an intoxicated confrontation in which he allegedly punched his father.

• Joseph Verrengia (D): October 2019, charged with DUI after being found asleep at the wheel in a travel lane in West Hartford; suspended from committee leadership, continued to serve.

• Robin Comey (D): June 2021, appeared impaired and incoherent while speaking on the House floor; March 2023, charged with DUI after a rollover crash on Capitol Avenue in Hartford with a BAC of about 0.14. She remains in service to this day.

• Michael DiMassa (D): Arrested 2021 in connection with embezzling roughly $1.2 million in COVID19 relief funds through dummy invoices and sham companies; sentenced in 2023 to 27 months in prison.

• Geoff Luxenberg (D): November 2023, charged with DUI and improper lane use after erratic driving in Willimantic; smelled of alcohol and failed field sobriety tests.

• Christopher Ziogas (D): Pleaded guilty in November 2025 to conspiracy, bank fraud, and related charges in a Medicaid bribery scheme involving payments to influence a state audit.

• Victor Cuevas (D): December 2025, charged with second-degree breach of peace in connection with an August 2025 “hate incident” in Waterbury involving hostile expressions toward a political candidate. Also was sentenced for trying to defraud a Probate Judge candidate in 2017.

• Aundré Bumgardner (D): March 2, 2025, charged with DUI and reckless driving in Groton after driving with a flat tire; Blood alcohol readings of about 0.18 and 0.17; entered a diversionary program. Continues to serve.

• Dennis Bradley (D): (former state senator): October 2026, charged with illegal possession and handling of absentee ballots during a Bridgeport Democratic primary (prior unrelated federal campaign finance charges from his 2018 race).

One commenter has noted that if anyone wishes to have a portrait of their favorite legislator, they could have one for free by going to the Hartford Police Station and looking to see the mugshot book.

It is almost inarguable to see that Connecticut has a garbage state government. What happened in this past election further compounds that statement. Ethics in state government and honesty really does not matter whatsoever to the new and improved Connecticut Democrat Party Super Majority that now controls Connecticut and its legal citizens with an iron hand.

Here are two serious examples of crime that would cost other people their employment in private industry if not severe jail time. But in Connecticut, both the state-run media and the Republican party have always treated such miscreant and dangerous behavior with nothing stronger than strong statements Further, these malfeasants are often celebrated and rewarded with Connecticut Taxpayer funded nonjobs in the gulag known as the Connecticut State House of Representatives, or failing that. a similar malfunctioning organization.

The case of Democrat State Representative Anne (“Tax My People More, And Harder”) Hughes bears special mention. Per WFSB: “Easton police said the case started with a complaint from (Darrell) Harris, who ran against Hughes, the incumbent, in the 135th House District. On Oct. 30, Harris told police several campaign signs had been stolen from the area of Route 59 and Judd Road in Easton. Police said they used an AirTag tracker to follow at least   one sign to a property owned by Hughes. Hughes returned several signs and was arrested for sixth degree larceny. She was arrested at that property.” 

In review of the police body cams, the arrogance and attitude of Hughes is staggering. Moreover, she makes several false statements for which she was not criminally charged giving rise to the accusations of preferential treatment historically attributed to past lawbreaking lawmakers. Operatively, why would voters vote in this nasty thief with no regard for their wallets office once again??  How is Hughes in any way a “role model” for young people? Hughes is part of the problem with politics in Connecticut today as she feels she can do anything she wants and takes nor responsibility for it.

The second example, is. If you shoplift from Target, you are more than welcome to the Connecticut Democrat State Assembly. We have written about Democrat State Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan from Bethel and his “forgetting” to pay for some items at the local Target store in 2025. He was to run and win reelection handily this past election.

“A state representative charged with larceny from a Target store in June has been temporarily stripped of his committee assignments after being granted accelerated rehabilitation from a state judge.  Allie-Brennan, the House’s chief majority whip, was arrested by Bethel police June 23 and charged with sixth-degree larceny, a misdemeanor. He is accused of leaving the store without paying for two items worth a total of $26.69. On July 28, he voluntarily surrendered to police on an additional sixth-degree larceny charge. Details are limited for both arrests since the cases were sealed pending Allie-Brennan’s application for the diversionary program. (State Rep. Raghib AllieBrennan, D-Bethel, announced Monday that he would pay $54 restitution to Target as part of his program. Per CT NewsJunkie)

Hitherto, I have described the litany of members of the Connecticut State Legislature participating in humdrum substance abuse, violent. and vehicle crime. However, in Connecticut circles, crime is a way of life and the upper echelon of the Democrat party does not participate in such plebian offenses, but rather chooses crimes and schemes of a much more sophisticated nature. In this connection, let us not forget Governor/King Ned Lamont “The Unaccountable” and his profits/thefts on  Infosys Limited, Digital Currency Group and its affiliates, "ADVANCECT", Boston Consulting Group, UNITE US (CT), Mt. Sinai Genomics, "Thermo Fisher Scientific", "Sema 4", " Core Informatics", "Ocrulus", "Urjanet", "1life Healthcare", "Galileo Health", "Castlight Health", "Paladina Health", "4CT", and "VillageMD ““The Horsebarn Hill Investment Fund”, McKinsey, “CT Next”, and the Tidal River Fund, “Baby Bonds” portfolio, the UCONN Foundation. In addition, my friend and colleague Tony De Angelo clearly and stunningly outlined the inner workings of the latest impending Lamont “pay to play” scheme known as “Nedcare” on the November 12 “Thirty With Tony”, providing reasons as to why Lamont ran for a third term:

So to all of the young people out there contemplating a life of crime, I respectfully submit unto you that you will be far better taken care of if you consider a legislative career that will cover and pay for your lawbreaking due to the special privileges of the omnipotent presence of the Connecticut Democrat Party. Democrats hold no faults nor are responsible for their actions in any way, shape or form. They are not even ever challenged or admonished by either the state-run media or the opposing party. It is incredulous how this serial criminal conduct can go on for decades and has reached the point of acceptance from the mainstream. From the Governor to supposed “representatives “of citizens in the state, it seems that theft, lies and a lack of ethics is the “new” garbage state government that has been voted upon and embraced by a majority of Connecticut Voters.

 If this does not trouble you, you are indeed part of the problem.
