Rowland Comments On Rell

There was a very interesting article in today's News-Times about former Governor John Rowland's feelings towards current Governor Jodi Rell. You can read it here.

In it, Rowland says that Rell "threw me under the bus when it got rough". He claimed that Rell put politics first before defending her current boss when he was in the middle of his ethic scandal. Jodi Rell was Lt. Governor to Rowland for over nine years.

The article goes on to say that Rowland considered himself to be power-hungry, and he wanted to benefit from everything. He claims that he also goes through times now where he has to realize that fame and power should not run your life because it can go straight to your head, like it did with him.

It really makes you think about the person who led our state for nearly a decade. The only thing I can say is that Governor Rell didn't owe Rowland anything, and what he did was a disgrace to the people of Connecticut.
