Intern Says 80% of General Assembly Are/Were Corrupt

Christine Stuart at CTNewsJunkie published a story today about a legislative intern’s interesting testimony Tuesday. From Christine’s story, Intern Gone Wild:

At a forum on Connecticut’s history of disciplining public officials Tuesday, an intern known for sporting a Fedora, made some wild accusations about what goes on at the Capitol.

“80 percent of the legislators here have some form of corruption whether in their background or right now,” the intern for three House Democrats said at Tuesday’s forum, according to this video footage from Connecticut Network.

The video is one of the most viewed on the Connecticut Network web site and has legislators talking about the short four-minute dialogue the intern had with the panelists, which begins one hour and 15-minutes into the video.

“From liquor and smoking in a state facility, from sex in actual offices to kickbacks from lobbyists…” the intern said.

The 90 minute video is at CT-N, but for your viewing pleasure and convenience, I’ve clipped the relevant portion from the stream and uploaded it to YouTube. Enjoy!
