Stewart's Bribe Claims, Tax Scandal: GOP Governor Hopeful's Drama
Description
Erin Stewart, Republican gubernatorial hopeful, reveals in a TV interview that she received numerous bribe offers during her tenure as New Britain mayor, but never reported any. This comes amidst controversy surrounding a fired tax official accused of backdating payments. Stewart denies any involvement and dismisses the allegations as political attacks. She later clarifies that the bribe offers were not genuine, but rather desperate pleas for tax breaks or threats. Stewart and current Mayor Bobby Sanchez are at odds over the job security of the fired tax official, with Stewart blaming residency rules and council votes. Despite the controversy, Stewart remains the top GOP pick for the May 16th convention, with no drop in delegate support.
