There She Goes Again.
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz’s bid for attorney general makes a return engagement on the shoals on the front page of today’s Hartford Courant. Seems that big database of constituent information Bysiewicz would share with her campaign contained considerably more than addresses of citizens who made an inquiry to her office. The former insurance company lawyer also included a category for ethnicity. One wonders how she would obtain that information.
There’s also a notes section. It includes mentions of people’s health, political connections, and even ideological leanings. What this has to do with being the “managing partner” of the office, as she has described her job, will require a better explanation than she provided in today’s story by Jon Lender.
The campaign will get rougher for the candidate who’s known more for her ambition than her achievements. She’ll soon get to explain her public office political operation when she takes a star turn under oath in her court action seeking to have herself declared eligible to run for attorney general.
