In the final months of Gov. M. Jodi Rell's administration, the state Department of Motor Vehicles issued dozens of special, low-number license plates to Rell, her friends and relatives, political loyalists and other insiders.
Such plates are not available to average citizens lacking influential political friends such as M. Lisa Moody, Rell's longtime, much-feared chief of staff who coordinated much of the effort to give the privileged circule of people the chance to obtain the two- and three-digit plates. Moody and Rell left office with the rest of ther administration on Jan. 5.
The above disclosures were published minutes ago by columnist Kevin Rennie in this post on his Daily Ructions political blog.
