Brian Lockhart covers the Connecticut General Assembly in Hartford

An indicted contractor, 2 ex-DOT Chiefs, the Attorney General and a gubernatorial candidate walk into a bar…

Check out this pair of stories our newspapers carried over the weekend about the Urban Transitway, a high profile, mostly-federally-funded infrastructure project in Stamford.

These reports pretty much have it all. Federal money. An allegedly corrupt contractor. State Attorney General/Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Dick Blumenthal. The guy he wants to replace – retiring Democratic U.S. Senator Chris Dodd. Former Stamford Mayor/Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dannel Malloy. And the state Department of Transportation.

The only thing we couldn’t figure out how to wrap into the stories is sex. Sorry.
