HARTFORD — A veteran state rep. and two state senators are leaving the legislature.

Democratic Rep. Steve Dargan of West Haven is stepping down to take a job with the Board of Pardons and Paroles, and Republican Senator Rob Kane of Watertown won’t take the oath of office Wednesday, because he’s accepted a job as the Republican State Auditor. In addition, Democratic Senator Eric Coleman of Bloomfield is resigning.

After receiving a letter of resignation from a member of the general assembly, the state’s Elections Division transmit it to Governor Dannel P. Malloy, usually within a day or two.
