Gov. Malloy, Speaker Sharkey should pressure Hewett to resign

State Rep. Hewett is a disgrace to our once great state for sexual comments he made to a 17-year-old girl during a legislative budget hearing.
I am an independently minded Democrat and agree with the editors of the New Haven Register editorial (March 12, 2013), which points out that Hewett has a history of verbal sexual harassment. The editors found out that Hewett is prohibited from having female interns because of “bad behavior.” The Register points out that Speaker Sharkey and Governor Malloy have refused to call on Hewett to resign.
If you agree, call Malloy’s office at 1-800-406-1527 and Sharkey’s at 1-800-842-1902 to put the moral pressure on these men, who should not need public prodding but obviously do.
Connecticut deserves better lawmakers than Hewett.

Do you really think a black legislator will be forced to resign? Jesse Jackson Jr. was committing all kinds of ethics violations for years and was never asked to resign by the Democratic leadership. He had to be actually convicted of stealing money before he resigned.
