Governor-Elect Dan Malloy added another state lawmaker to his administration Thursday, this time tapping State Rep. David McCluskey to join the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
the Board of Pardons and Paroles is an autonomous state agency that has the authority to grant pardons for criminal convictions and to grant parole to appropriate offenders.
McCluskey will complete his current term as a state representative, but will resign his member-elect status and will not be sworn in to a new term in the State House.
“David has been a committed public servant for a long time, and I appreciate his willingness to continue that service as a member of the Board of Pardons and Paroles,” Malloy said. “Representative McCluskey will walk a fine line in this new role, ultimately making decisions that will help keep the people of the State of Connecticut safe, while allowing those people who have served their time to become a contributing member of society.”
