Rowland Replaced in Bush's Conn. Campaign

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Gov. John G. Rowland, plagued by a federal corruption investigation and legislative impeachment inquiry, has been replaced as chairman of President Bush's re-election campaign in Connecticut and will not lead the state's delegation to the GOP convention.

Rowland decided to step aside and advised the Bush campaign early in the year to find another campaign leader, his spokesman, John Wiltse, said Thursday.

"He indicated to the committee that, based on time constraints, the start of the legislative session and obviously the rest of the issues that he has on his plate, it would be better served with another chairman or another co-chairman that could devote full attention to the Bush campaign," Wiltse said.

Rowland, a longtime Bush family friend, is the target of federal and legislative investigations into gifts he received and alleged contract steering.
