Connecticut politics is a contact sport

“Moses” Newton Ensconced in Waterbury Halfway House. Maybe He’ll Part the Naugatuck River

The Blogster notes that Ernest E. Newton, the former state senator sent to prison on corruption charges, called himself “The Moses of My People,” when he resigned from the General Assembly back in 2005 amid an investigation that sent him to federal prison. It’s good to hear he’s now out, in a halfway house in Waterbury, preparing for life on the outside. But it’s time to remember that he extorted social service agencies in exchange for his perceived legislative clout and that’s why Senior US District Judge Alan H. Nevas, a former member of the state House, threw the book at him. Among other things, Newton used the payoffs to pay for repairs on his rattletrap Jaguar.
