From Times Wire Reports
State House Democrats met to discuss whether the House should look into impeaching Gov. John G. Rowland, who has been criticized for accepting free renovations at his summer cottage and lying about it.
The caucus was being held behind closed doors at the Capitol in Hartford. Speaker Moira Lyons, a Democrat, would have the final say on whether to appoint a committee to study impeachment.
Several Democrats have urged Lyons to do so, and some have called for Rowland, a Republican, to resign.
