John G. Rowland, the disgraced former third-term governor whose 2004 federal corruption conviction led to the state’s landmark public-financing program, turned 61 on Thursday. But more importantly for the former titular head of the state Republican Party, his latest federal incarceration comes to an end Sunday, when he is scheduled to be freed from a Waterbury halfway house, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Rowland’s 30-month sentence was the result of a jury trial in 2014 that yielded seven guilty verdicts for his behind-the-scenes role in the losing Republican congressional campaign of Lisa Wilson-Foley, whose husband Brian Foley paid Rowland $35,000 in consulting fees.
