Democratic state rep charged with stealing opponent’s lawn sign

Rep. Anne Hughes, D-Easton, was issued a summons Saturday for a misdemeanor larceny charge related to taking a Republican opponent’s lawn sign that he says was tracked to Hughes’ property by a hidden air tag.
Hughes, who is seeking reelection to a fifth term representing the 135th House District of Easton, Redding and Weston, acknowledged removing lawn signs that she says were improperly placed on public property.
Darrell Harris, the Republican challenger, said a volunteer frustrated by disappearing lawn signs had hidden air tags in some signs, and the campaign was able to track one Friday.
“I expected it to ping to same random person,” Harris said Saturday. “The last thing I expected was it to ping on her property.”

The signs taunted Hughes for a so-called “hot mic” moment at a press conference called by lawmakers who favor higher taxes on the wealthy. She was heard joking [uh huh – ED] to colleague, “We’re not rich. But I always tell the governor to tax my people — they won’t even notice.”

She’ll be re-elected to a sixth term by her chumps anyway, because they’re … chumps, but it’s always useful to see a glimpse of the type of people who control Connecticut. A vote for Democrats like Steve “Pink Crocs” Meskers, Jill Oberlander and Hector Arzeno is a vote for this:

New income tax brackets for people who earn more than $1 million, $10 million and $25 million. They also want a new 5 percent surcharge on capital gains, dividends and taxable interest for those who make more than $500,000 annually, which would raise as much as $850 million at a cost of $160 million.

Don’t like that? Don’t think it’s a good idea? But better that than voting for a member of that evil man Trump’s party, right Dan Quigley?
