Peter N. Ellef

Peter N. Ellef was the Chief of Staff to former Republican Connecticut Governor John Rowland, who would later serve one year and a day in prison after pleading guilty to corruption charges of accepting bribes.

Ellef was himself later sentenced to serve time in prison in April 2006, after pleading guilty to conspiring to commit tax fraud and participating in a bribery scheme, where he accepted gifts, cash and gold coins in exchange for rigging state contracts to favor William Tomasso, the contractor and the person bribing him.^[1]
