Citizen’s Ethics Advisory Board Chairman G. Kenneth Bernhard of Westport, who was caught giving campaign contributions against state rules that his board oversees, has quit. “I have had a few days to consider recent events…It is apparent that my service will be a distraction to the important work that the Board does for the people of our state and I cannot permit that to happen,” said the attorney and former member of the state House.
The CEAB will continue to its investigation into Bernhard’s actions, which included a $100 check to Gov. Jodi Rell’s campaign.
