Brookfield Republicans have booted a former school board member out of the party, prompting a federal lawsuit filed by a former Connecticut Secretary of the State. At the same time, General Assembly members are being asked to consider the repeal of an obscure state statute that allows political parties to expel members if they engage in activities judged to be “disloyal.”
Republican leaders say they removed former Brookfield Board of Education member Jane Miller from Republican voters rolls because she ran unsuccessfullly for the town Board of Finance as a Democrat in 2013. She’s now represented by former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, now a Glastonbury attorney, who has filed state, and most recently, federal, litigation seeking $1 million in damages.
