Dodd's vacation cottage worth $660k
Posted by ConnPolitics.tv Staff on June 12th, 2009
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Records show the value of Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd’s vacation cottage in Ireland has more than doubled to nearly $660,000.
The seaside home, located in County Galway, was valued on Dodd’s 2007 financial disclosure report at between $100,001 and $250,000.
A recent estimate by a real estate agent in Ireland places the value at about 470,000 euros. That’s about $660,000.
Dodd spokesman Bryan DeAngelis says the senator and his wife decided to have the property appraised because they felt it was time to update the information for Dodd’s disclosure report.
The vacation home is the subject of an ethics complaint by a conservative group that questions whether it was really a gift.

I wish my "property values" would triple in one year. Dodd should be investigarted by the ethics committee,. He's obviously lying about this,and removed from office. He inherited his old man's ways.

He's so arrogant it is sickening. He has tied himself to Kennedy so that he can ride the rails on that name. Wonder if they can still make waitress sandwiches or are they too old now? Dodd is a disgrace to the country, the Senate, and definitely CT.

Another lie in his benefit but I am sure he will come up with some excuse like some else did it.

In 1.5 years he will be gone and we can elect a Senator that cares more about Connecticut than their self. Meanwhile we have to listen about this garbage.

At least he will get plenty of use of this "gift" house in a year and a half when he is retired..... which can't happen too soon for the citizens of CT.

every state has the same problem
the majority of voters are idiots and they keep voting for the same scum because they will not tkae the time to keep track of what their elected scuzballs are doing
they go in the booth and say to themselves
"duhh, I recognize that name, duhhee"
Dodd & Lieberman are scum
there are eleven comments above me that agree
trouble is there are 3 million others in Ct that have not got a clue about Dodds cottage or his financial dealings
