Wife of Connecticut Democrat involved in COVID fraud scheme gets 6 months The wife of a Connecticut Democrat who was involved in a COVID fraud scheme has been sentenced to six months in prison. Lisa Wilson-Foley, the wife of former state representative Brian Foley, was sentenced on Friday for her role in the scheme. Wilson-Foley pleaded guilty in March to conspiring to make illegal campaign contributions. She admitted to paying former Governor John Rowland $35,000 to work on her husband's 2012 congressional campaign, but not reporting it as a campaign expense. Rowland, who was previously convicted of corruption charges, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in the scheme. The case has been a black eye for Connecticut Democrats, who have been trying to distance themselves from the scandal. Foley resigned from his position as deputy majority leader in the state House of Representatives in 2013, and has not been involved in politics since. The case has also raised questions about the role of money in politics, and the need for greater transparency in campaign finance. Many have called for stricter laws and regulations to prevent similar abuses in the future. In the end, Wilson-Foley's sentence serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, and that those who engage in illegal activities will be held accountable. It also serves as a warning to others who may be tempted to engage in similar schemes, that the consequences can be severe. As the COVID pandemic continues to ravage the country, it is more important than ever that we have faith in our political leaders and institutions. We must demand transparency and accountability from those who hold public office, and ensure that our democracy remains strong and vibrant.
