  8. Crime & Punishment: Man calls 911 over a bad sandwich

    <strong>A Connecticut law prevents candidates</strong> for the state legislature from accepting donations from lobbyists. But there is no law against state lawmakers accepting such money for their campaigns for federal office, even if the donors have a stake in bills before the Connecticut General Assembly. The finance director of House Speaker Christopher Donovan's campaign for Congress was arrested for allegedly trying to conceal a $20,000 donation meant to ensure Donovan would squash an anti-tobacco bill. Donovan's campaign has also accepted perfectly legal donations from Zuffra, a mixed martial arts promoter (as the state legislator considered regulating the sport) and the Indoor Tanning Association (whose industry was also the subject of a bill). R. Bartley Halloran, an attorney for the Association of Connecticut Lobbyists, assured the <em>Register-Citizen</em> of Torrington that, "There's never been any evidence tying money to a specific political outcome." (The notion is only supported by a mountain of common sense.)
