Trumbull Ethics Commission candidate at center of debate - again Donald Eng FacebookTwitterEmail Sujata Gadkar-WilcoxContributed TRUMBULL — For the second time in two years, the appointment of a nominee everyone agreed was qualified sent the town council into a contentious debate and party-line vote. This time, Ethics Commission nominee Sujata Gadkar-Wilcox secured the necessary two-thirds majority vote, but not before members complained of selective and arbitrary standards. Gadkar-Wilcox is a professor of Constitutional and human rights law at Quinnipiac University and a two-time recipient of the Robert J. Myers Fellowship from the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. She was previously nominated for a seat on the Ethics Commission in 2019, and her appointment vote failed on an 11-10 vote, with all 10 Republicans voting against her nomination.
