State Ethics Commission
A state investigation into the firing of Alan S. Plofsky, who is the onetime executive director of the State Ethics Commission and a critic of former Gov. The board concluded the accusations were without merit and said Mr. Plofsky's rights were denied when the ethics commission conducted an illegal closed-door meeting for discussing the complaints against him. Mr. Plofsky, who once called Mr. Rowland a liar in a speech to the Litchfield League of Women Voters, in an intense manner denied the accusations and said his firing was politically motivated.
