Amann coming to Meriden

The day after he begins his new job as senior adviser to Speaker of the House Chris Donovan, Jim Amann will be in Meriden, but as a potential candidate for governor.

Amann, the recently retired House speaker, is scheduled to meet with the Meriden Democratic Town Committee at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The meeting will be at the Curtis Cultural Center.

Amann has not officially announced that he will run for governor, but said that he plans to make an announcement later this month.

Meriden Democratic Town Committee Chairwoman Mildred Torres-Ferguson works for Donovan, who served as majority leader under Amann. She is in charge of personnel and some chief of staff duties.

Is Amann's appearance in Meriden this week a coincidence, or is it politics at its best?

When are you guys going to take Donovan to task for appointing Amann to an unnecesary $120,000 "advisory" position. I supported Donovan in the past, but this is too much!
