| Description | Inquiry Committee Named in Rowland [Impeachment] Case
Five Democrats and five Republicans were named Thursday to a special House inquiry committee that will recommend whether Gov. John G. Rowland should be impeached.
The three-term Republican governor is under fire for accepting gifts and free work on his vacation cottage from politically connected friends, state employees and a contractor and lying about it. He has said he never returned the favors, but lawmakers from both parties have called for his resignation.
On Thursday, Rowland commended Democratic House Speaker Moira Lyons and Republican House Minority Leader Robert Ward for selecting a bipartisan committee.
The committee will have the authority to draft articles of impeachment. If the House votes to impeach, the Senate would decide whether to remove Rowland from office. |
