HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Friday that Gov. John G. Rowland must testify before a committee considering his impeachment, making him the first sitting chief executive in U.S. history ordered to appear before a legislative body.

Rowland is under investigation for accepting gifts from friends, state contractors and employees. He is also the subject of a parallel federal corruption investigation. The three-term Republican has said he provided nothing in return for the gifts and has not compromised his office.

Members of the House Select Committee of Inquiry have said they want to hear from the governor personally or at least from his attorneys and other witnesses.

I'm entitled to bash CT, I grew up there.
