State Senate, Lou DeLuca, to resign his Senate seat. You can read the story here from the Hartford Courant.Cappiello is the first Republican Senator to call for DeLuca's resignation. He was also one of the leading people who wanted former Governor John Rowland to resign back in 2004. This is probably a good move for Cappiello, who is running for Congress, and trying to continue to show people his moderate views, and ability to not be scared to go against his Republican Party. It should be interesting to see if other Republican Senators will follow Cappiello's lead.
UPDATE (8/2/07): Here is the article from the News-Times. By the way, DeLuca commented on the situation yesterday and said, "There have been calls for my resignation, and I would like this opportunity to say, once again, that I am not resigning." Who knows what's going to happen.

Good move, Senator, whether or not you are looking to move up on the political ladder.
But unless Murphy becomes an Elvis impersonator or starts stabbing old ladies, etc. he gets my vote.
Good man. Gotta hand it to ya - you sure like Cappiello.
Thanks Senator for doing what's right. Hope more follow. You sure have my vote for Congress.
...oh this has nothing to do with the fact that he's running for Congress.
Is this the same Cappiello who stood up for DeLuca a month ago?
whatever.
Cappiello, you rock!
It takes guts to be the first Republican to say that DeLuca should resign. I don't care what anyone says -- that shows leadership.
