Former Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim has been released early from federal prison and is now living at a halfway house in Hartford.
Ganim had always tried to reach the state Capitol by becoming governor, and now he is living not far from the Capitol at a large home on Collins Street
Former Gov. John G. Rowland, who ended up serving time in federal prison himself, said on July 1, 2003 that Ganim had received a fair sentence when he was sent away to prison.
“Justice was served today with a fair sentencing of former Mayor Joseph Ganim,” Rowland said back in 2003. “The city of Bridgeport has been returned to its citizens. The state remains committed to being a partner in the continuing revitalization of the city. We will keep moving forward as we turn the corner on this sad chapter.”
The Connecticut Post has been on top of the story.
