The least favorite state legislator that I am familiar with is State Senator Bill Finch (D-Bridgeport, Trumbull).
He is a classic whiny liberal Democrat, always talking about how taxes need to be raised to meet this or that need. He is a great believer in redistribution of wealth away from those who have earned it to those who have not.
He was also arrested last year in a drunken bar incident involving one of his sons. To his credit, he stepped forward and took his slap on the wrist penalty for it without any real complaining.
Generally, I don't like legislators who represent urban areas because they almost all have the mentality that everybody owes them something, and they reflect many of their constituents in their "take no responsibility for anything" stance.
I have a personal grudge against State Rep. Robert Barr (R-Hartford Area) because he is a crooked shyster lawyer (a redundancy in terms) and I was involved in a transaction once where he represented the other side. He tried to f**k me, but failed. I would have sworn he was a liberal Democrat by his behavior, and was chagrined to learn that he was a Republican.
