Former Gov. John G. Rowland is scheduled to be released from federal custody on Sunday.

The twice-convicted felon has been in a halfway house and will have served about 19 months of a 30-month sentence if he is released as expected.

The former three-term governor was found guilty in September 2014 of campaign fraud, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Rowland reported to prison in September 2016 after exhausting his appeals.

Rowland tried but failed to consult for congressional candidate Mark Greenberg in 2010. Two years later, he went to work for candidate Lisa Wilson-Foley. Rowland claims he was a campaign volunteer and was being paid for business consulting under a contract with Brian Foley, the candidate's husband.

Once a rising start in the republican party, Rowland wound up as a two-time felon.

2. Geez, this guy is such a loser...

I had to live under his governorships and it was misery the whole time. We have had a merciful sweetness with Malloy.
