Democratic women of the House seem to be letting Ernest “the snake” Hewett off the hook, after exposing the dirty little secret of sexism, harassment in the Capitol
@ R. Earl, agreed! I am outraged, and I will be even more so if this continues to be swept under the table. I’m thankful for Rep. Mae Flexer’s outrage, and I’m wondering what my spineless Danbury legislators think about the matter. I’m also outraged at the many local opinion writers at papers around the state who are making it an issue of party politics, ridiculing sexual harassment training, etc.
Thanks, Ken, for training your pen on this issue. However, the onus is not on the tiny minority of female legislators to keep the pressure on achieving gender equity and human rights– where are the voices of the intelligent, ethical, male majority at the Capitol?
Kim Fawcett. Hands down the biggest partisan hack in Hartford. Amazing set of double standards when it comes to party loyalty. I think the term is ” Ethically Challenged “
Can you imagine the outrage if Rep. Hewitt was a Republican ? One party rule will eventually be the downfall for Connecticut. He gets only a slap on the wrist for such a comment to a young intern ?
Why wouldn’t Rep. Hewett be censured for his sexually harassing remarks and behaviors? “We love Ernie Hewett very much” is no excuse for letting him continue to create a hostile environment for women at work. There are laws against it and should apply to him.
Where is the outrage? Or is $6,400 a fair price for getting a pass on this?
Free pass…he has a “D” in his title
