Fasano to Tong: Recuse Yourself on Tweed Appeal.

Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano (R-North Haven) has asked Attorney General Willian Tong to recuse himself from litigation over the proposed expansion of Tweed-New Haven airport. Fasano cites Tong’s close political ties with embattled Mayor Toni Harp as reasons the Stamford Democrat will be unable to make a fair-minded, merit-based assessment of the way forward in litigation over a state statute that limits the length of a Tweed runway

Fasano and Senate Pro Tem President Martin Looney (D-New Haven) have been working together in their opposition to the airport expansion. Looney is not a signatory on the letter.
