Hardly anyone at the state Capitol wants to make a judgment about state Sen. Louis C. DeLuca, the Senate Republican minority leader, in regard to his pleading guilty last week to a state misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to threaten. Indeed, hardly anyone at the Capitol is willing even to talk about the DeLuca case.
Part of this reluctance was the pressure of the last few hours of the regular session of the General Assembly, whose budget work remains undone. But part of it, probably most of it, is just moral and political cowardice, worsened by the eroding standards of government in Connecticut. People at the Capitol, including DeLuca himself, may hope that if they don’t talk about his case, it will go away or get lost in the next incident of official misconduct – and maybe it will.
