Despite the specter of returning to prison -- this time for alleged unlawful political activity as a campaign consultant -- former Gov. John G. Rowland would likely get to keep his state pension of $4,309 a month, even as a repeat offender. An ethics reform law spawned by Rowlands 2004 resignation as governor, but narrowed in its scope by the Legislature, only applies to sitting public sector officials and employees who are convicted of abusing their powers. Connecticut taxpayers also foot the bill, currently estimated at $2,050 per month, for medical, dental and prescription coverage for the 56-year-old former governor and his family, according to the state comptrollers office, which also provided Hearst Connecticut Media with Rowlands monthly pension amount.
