Can A Mayor Campaign for Governor While Making the City Pay for His Cop Driver?

Some members of the city council of Bridgeport, Connecticut says the mayor's campaign should reimburse the city for the cost of his full-time police detective driver, who has been driving the mayor all over the state while he campaigns for governor. Joe Ganim, a Democrat, is the mayor of Bridgeport, a job he also had from 1991 to 2003; in between, he served seven years in federal prison on racketeering, extortion, and bribery counts, among others.
