Once a heavy hitter in Republican politics, first as a congressman and then as governor of Connecticut, John G. Rowland suffered the ultimate political defeat nearly a decade ago when he resigned from office amid a corruption scandal, eventually ordered to serve time in a federal prison.

As an added bonus, the 56-year-old Rowland became eligible last year for an annual state pension of about $50,000.
