he state has reached a settlement with a former Connecticut Port Authority board member who allegedly used his status on the board to secure work for a company that he partially owned. Henry Juan, who served on the CPA Board of Directors from 2016 to 2018, agreed to pay the Connecticut Office of State Ethics $18,500 over the alleged kickback scheme. The settlement is one of the largest ever reached by the OSE, the agency stated in a news release. The state had alleged that Juan violated two Codes of Ethics when he attempted to influence CPA staff and other members to award contracts to Seabury Maritime, a New York investment firm that Juan co-founded in 2016. The contracts related to the development of the New London State Pier. Under state law, lobbyists are required to register with the Office of State Ethics if they spend more than $3,000 each year, and are required to file itemized financial disclosures. State officials claim Seabury didn’t adhere to either of these requirements.
