I got the impression that he spent his last few months in office feathering his nest for life after politics. I don't think most legislators ever trusted him again after he killed a tax reform package that was universally liked (much more than any other plan) with backroom deals and lots of arm-twisting. I'm a Democrat through and through, met the man, voted for him twice but he has no business running for any office higher than dog catcher.
