    Meet the New Legislature, Same as the Old Legislature A quantitative analysis of the Connecticut Citizens’ Election Program October 2012 Jason Farrell, Sean Parnell & Brett Sullivan Center for Competitive Politics October 2012 Issue Review Center for Competitive Politics 124 S. West Street, Suite 201 Alexandria, Virginia 22314 http://www.campaignfreedom.org Introduction The 2008 election cycle was the first in Connecticut in which candidates for state legislature could choose to accept taxpayer dollars to fund their campaigns, replacing the traditional system of private, voluntary contributions from citizens. Supporters of the new system believed that removing private money from campaigns would change politics in the state. But this report demonstrates that, at least when it comes to casting votes on legislation, Connecticut lawmakers remain committed to the same legislative priorities. There is no evidence that private campaign There is no evidence that private contributions were securing policy campaign contributions were securing outcomes, or that removing private policy outcomes, or that removing money changes or improves legislative private money changes or improves behavior in any way. legislative behavior in any way In late 2005 the Connecticut legislature passed the Citizens’ Election Program (CEP), which was signed by newly-installed Governor Jodi Rell. This program was created in the wake of the resignation of former governor John Rowland, who was forced to resign from office in 2004 after it was revealed that he had accepted gifts from private contractors seeking state contracts. Rowland later pleaded guilty to related corruption charges, and served time in jail. Additionally, former state treasurer Paul Sylvester pleaded guilty to accepting bribes in 1999, Bridgeport mayor Joseph Ganim was convicted in 2003 on 16 counts related to corruption, and state senator Ernest Newton pleaded guilty in 2005 to accepting a bribe.

  • Public Records of The
    The Public Records of the STATE OF CONNECTICUT FROM 1821 TO 1822 VOLUME XXI Edited in accordance with an Act of The General Assembly Douglas M. Arnold Editor Shelby Shapiro Bevi Chagnon Associate Editor Production Consultant Hartford 2015 Published by The Connecticut State Library Kendall F. Wiggin Lizette Pelletier State Librarian State Archivist © 2015 Connecticut State Library PREFACE This volume contains a transcription of the positive actions of the General As- sembly of Connecticut during the years 1821 and 1822. The manuscript which forms the core of this volume—and of the entire Public Records series—is the official record of the acts, resolutions, and appointments made by the General Assembly. It is housed at the Connecticut State Library [CSL] in Hartford in Archives Record Group 1. The records of the 1821 session reproduced here can be found on pages 407–561 of Volume 13 of the manuscript; those for 1822 can be found on pages 8–231 of Volume 14. The appendices to each ses- sion reproduce selected supplementary documents culled from the records of the executive department at the CSL and from contemporary newspapers. Time constraints did not permit exhaustive research. The footnotes high- light the major activities of the General Assembly, identify some significant themes and developments, indicate where additional primary source materials can be found in manuscript series at the CSL, and provide information about important public figures. Brief biographies usually appear in footnotes on the first appearance of an individual in a major office and other key figures are occasionally identified when appropriate. Cross-references point to matters discussed elsewhere in this and earlier volumes of the series.

  • L. Scott Frantz – Member, Connecticut State Senate Representing Greenwich, New Canaan and Stamford
    L. Scott Frantz – Member, Connecticut State Senate Representing Greenwich, New Canaan and Stamford State Senator L. Scott Frantz is half way through his fourth term in the General Assembly where he represents the 36th District, which includes the communities of Greenwich, New Canaan and Stamford. Senator Frantz has been named Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate Republican Caucus, and Ranking Member of the General Assembly’s Finance and Commerce Committees. In addition, Senator Frantz serves on the Transportation and Legislative Management Committees. As a ranking member of the Commerce and Finance Committees, Senator Frantz is contributing to ongoing efforts to help Connecticut businesses succeed, protect jobs, promote employment, and balance future state budgets. On the Transportation Committee, he is working to help find solutions to Connecticut’s mass transportation and infrastructure needs and challenges. During the 2015 Legislative Session Senator Frantz championed a number of policy changes of which Emily’s Law is the one he is the most proud. The law, named after Emily Fedorko, raises the minimum towing age to 16 while requiring the training of all new boaters in proper towing techniques. Emily died in a tubing accident in August 2014. Senator Frantz joined the Fedorko family in supporting this legislation which will in turn help support the mission of the Emily Catherine Fedorko Foundation to better educate boaters and promote overall safety awareness in what will hopefully become a model law for the entire country. Senator Frantz is a business entrepreneur with a long history of service and commitment to his community. Following his election to the General Assembly, Senator Frantz stepped down from his five­year post as Chairman of the Connecticut Development Authority, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bradley International Airport, and as Chairman of the Connecticut Brownfields Redevelopment Authority.
