Jonathan Dach was chief of staff to the Office of the Governor (OTG) from Jan. 4, 2023 to July 3, 2024, at which time he transitioned to Senior Advisor.
The report revealed that from Jan. 2023 to Sept. 2024, Dach used a Ford Escape issued by the OTG for personal use, using it to commute to and from work, parking it in prohibited locations, purchasing fuel with state funds and speeding.
His personal usage violates a Connecticut state law that prohibits a public official from using their public office for personal gain.
