Connecticut forces AIG bonus recipients to testify.

Connecticut governor website:

Continued Attorney General Blumenthal, “I will enforce these subpoenas if necessary through prompt and aggressive court action. We are preparing to do so.”

In addition to Mr. Liddy, subpoenas will be served to the following individuals:

James Haas, Fairfield
Jonathan Liebergall, New Canaan
Douglas Polling, Fairfield
Christopher Phole, New Canaan
Steven Pike, Stamford
Robert Powell, Westport
Joseph Rooney, Fairfield
Gregory Ruffa, Darien
Leonid Shekhtnam, Redding
Christian Toft, Weston
Steven Wagar, Norwalk

Under section 2-46 of the Connecticut General Statutes, legislative committee chairmen are authorized to compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses by subpoena and capias issued by them; to require the production of any necessary books, papers or other documents; and to administer oaths to witnesses in any case under their examination.

What is interesting is that one of the recipients from Redding, California was subpoenaed at his home. A newspaper posted his address of his residence in the article.

And this interesting piece of some of the AIG bonus recipients in connection to Senator Dodd: With the exception of Cenci and Haas, each donated $2,100 to U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd's presidential campaign in December 2006. Haas donated a total of $2,000 to previous Dodd campaigns.

Dodd has been under fire for his role in creating legislation that allowed AIG to pay the bonuses.

On side note: Diane Cenci of Westport, William Kolbert of Weston, and Christopher Pohle of New Canaan are the other AIG bonus recipients subpoenaed.
