Local Grifter John Scott, who has represented John Scott in the legislature for the past year or so, suffered yet another setback recently.
I reported back in January of 2015 that John, an insurance agent who had a contract with UConn to sell health insurance to students, had selflessly (or is that selfishly?) proposed a bill that would have required UConn students to buy his insurance, even if they were entitled to free insurance through Medicaid. Unfortunately, John wasn’t able to convince those nasty Democrats about the justice of his constituent’s cause, proving at the start that he’s not a terribly effective legislator. Let us give thanks for that.
Yesterday, we learned that John suffered yet another setback. He really could use some face time with Ben Carson:
A Freedom of Information Commission hearing officer has dismissed a complaint filed last year by state Rep. John Scott against the Poquonnock Bridge Fire District.
Scott filed the complaint in August 2015, saying the district held an illegal meeting about purchasing property and casualty insurance.
Scott owns Bailey Agencies Insurance, which had provided insurance to the fire district for about 20 years.
The district switched insurance carriers in August.
A hearing officer issued a decision on Feb. 18 in favor of the fire district and recommended the complaint be dismissed. The commission is scheduled to consider the matter on March 23.
Scott said Friday he would let the matter rest.
“I don’t agree with the decision, but I’m not going to pursue it,” he said.
Ron Yuhas, vice president of the fire district, said the complaint cost the district about $8,000 in attorney’s fees.
John is definitely looking out for number one. Now, don’t be fooled by the fact that the New London Day reported this story. They will never refer to it again. Dave Collins, one of their columnists, has been on a jihad against Andy Maynard ever since Andy suffered a brain injury in an auto accident. His constituents re-elected Andy to the Senate in full knowledge of that fact. Andy suffers from dysphasia. Even after he announced his intention not to seek reelection, Collins has continued to hector him, and the Day even had the bad taste to get him on the phone and mock his inability to speak correctly. But the Day has become a Republican rag, and the fact that John Scott, who is, need I say, a Republican, represents only himself, while it must be reported once, will not be considered a story worth pursuing.
