Stevens Business Record Becomes Ripe Target as Newtown Republican Step Up Attacks on Cope.

Fifth CD Republican hopeful Bill Stevens ballyhoos his “military, international business, finance, and energy industry background.” The novice candidate may want to go easy on his energy industry experience with this article from 2010 making the rounds of delegates.

It tells the unsettling tale of a bankruptcy alleging shenanigans at a wind power company involving, among others, Stevens and his wife.

Stevens, who has struggled to raise money for his campaign, has been escalating email attacks on frontrunner Clay Cope, first selectman of Sherman. Now in mimicking loathsome demagogue Donald Trump, Stevens appears to want to make bankruptcy a Republican virtue.
