Updated: Shhhhh. Redding RTC Makes Endorsements in Secret Session.

Did they or didn’t they? The Redding RTC did a curious thing Monday. Its members went into an executive session to vote on candidate endorsements. The results are being kept secret.

Redding, readers may recall, is the hometown of attorney general hopeful John Shaban. It would be a logical place for the former state representative to have snagged and celebrated an early, unanimous endorsement from those who know him best. Shaban has been in the contest since late 2017.

Daily Ructions has not been able to confirm the result of last night’s vote but understands it was tight contest between Shaban and rival Susan Hatfield, a Pomfret Republican.

Update: The committee, Daily Ructions has learned, voted 9-9 on the AG race. The town’s four delegates, including Shaban, will go to him. The damage beyond Redding to the 2016 congressional candidate may be difficult to calculate.
