More allegations of graft from Connecticut's Republican governor, John Rowland.

New Issue: Rowland Condo Deal
Governor Sold Washington, D.C., Property To Friend For Price Above Market Rate

At a time when similar units in the Washington, D.C., building where Gov. John G. Rowland owned a condominium were selling for as little as $20,000 to $30,000, the governor pulled off something of a coup: He sold his condo in 1997 for $68,500, or 19 percent more than he paid.

But like other good things that have happened to Rowland - from low-cost vacations to renovations at his lakefront cottage - this deal appears to have involved a little help from a friend.

1. It's only a matter of time

He'll be force to resign at some point this year.

As a Connecticut resident, I'll be more than happy to see this lying crook go. The state has GOP fatigue I think and that'll ensure that a Democrat wins the governor's mansion next time around.
