Legislators likely to miss chance for appearance with Bill Cosby

Earlier this year comedian, actor and writer Bill Cosby visited the capitol and spent several hours passionately urging lawmakers to pass legislation aimed at promoting responsible fatherhood.

A bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Bruce Morris, D-Norwalk, was passed and signed into law a few months ago by Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell.

Morris has told me he wanted to bring Cosby back to prove Connecticut lawmakers took his words and his visit seriously.

So I thought about Morris this week when our newsapers promoted Cosby’s scheduled appearance at Bridgeport’s Klein Auditorium this coming Sunday.

But Morris today told me although he would have loved to take advantage of the opportunity of Cosby’s being in-state to hold a fatherhood event with him, he does not think it is going to happen at this point.
