Bruno Ends Consulting Job

December
21

After coming under fire for the business arrangement, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno said this afternoon that he will end his employment with a Connecticut-based investment firm.

An article earlier this month in the New York Times said that firm, Wright Investors’ Services, handles millions of dollars of business for New York labor unions. Bruno’s employment with the firm dates back to the mid-1990s.
Bruno has refused to discuss his role with the firm. Bruno’s outside financial interests are also under federal investigation.
“After several weeks of discussion, Wright Investors’ Service and I have mutually agreed to end our relationship,” Bruno said in a statement. “The relationship was formally ended on December 17, 2007.
“I have done so because the focus on my outside interests has taken attention away from more pressing issues such as our efforts to address the critical needs of our State going forward.”

    What possible “consulting” could this guy be doing for a Connecticut investment company other than to help them get NY contracts and deals? What else could this man POSSIBLY help them with? It is all so palpably obvious that it defies further contemplation. There are numerous questions left unasked, as per usual.
