CCAG Calls for Ethics Legislation for Public and Quasi Public Boards
In anticipation of tonight’s vote by Members of the Metropolitan District Commission to re-elect William A. DiBella as chairman, the CT Citizen Action Group (CCAG) is calling for new ethics rules that would protect the public from potential exposure to corrupt acts.
“With all the corruption in CT over the last decade, we believe the state must act this session to limit taxpayer’s exposure to potentially corrupt acts,” stated Phil Sherwood, Legislative Director of CCAG.
“Therefore we will be introducing legislation that will forbid individuals who have been banned from serving on boards of publicly traded corporations from serving on public and quasi-public boards, such as the MDC,” said Sherwood. “We’re optimistic the legislature and Gov. Rell will support such a proposal.”
