The Blogster just heard that second-term state Rep. Jason Bartlett, D-Bethel, vice chairman of the Appropriations Committee, was busted this week in Newtown for motor vehicle violations, including driving without a license; a suspended registration; and no insurance. To top it off, he was using a hand-held cell phone, with an outstanding cell-phone violation hanging fire. Talk about fodder for a potential Republican challenger in 2010.
These are valid concerns. Throw the guy out.
We have a tax cheat running our Treasury, a former President fooling around with interns, a current President who wasn’t born in America, a Senator who received mortgage deals running our banking committees, a State Rep driving without insurance or a license and is in arrears on his property taxes…..and all their responses are largely “Oops, had I known, I would have paid that fine” or “I am glad someone brought this to my attention”.
Imagine Jeffrey Dahmer trying that same defense; “Oh, it’s wrong to k i l l and eat people? Oops,thanks for bringing that to my attention.”
Aren’t there better people ready to stand up and run against these fools?

LOL! Jason Bartlett is the vice-chairman of the appropriations committee? That’s like putting a crack addict in charge of the watching the cocaine in the evidence room. Vote for any tool but Bartlett!
