Newton Fired?

Sen. Ernest E. Newton (D-Bridgeport) has been suspended by his employer (not the citizens of Bridgeport, but his other employer), Partners for Community Inc. All this is in relation to the FBI investigation into corruption, which has included a raid on his legislative office in Hartford. Also, the first Democrat, Rep. Andrew M. Fleischmann (D-West Hartford), called on Newton to step down from his committee assignments, including Public Safety, which oversees the State Police. Stories here, here and here.
