From CTGOP.org:
Republican State Party Chairman Chris Healy Tuesday said it was time for Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to choose between his day job and running for U.S. Senate.
“It is clear that Dick Blumenthal wants the taxpayers to subsidize his campaign strategy, thereby hiding from reporters and voters with legitimate questions on his policy positions and record, while issuing press releases from his AG’s office to sue entities that suit politically,” Healy said. “If you notice, many of these suits provide him with national and state media exposure.”
“A series of missteps, evasions of his record and bad publicity has caused Blumenthal to hunker down in his office, rarely appearing before microphones after nearly 20 years of being a ubiquitous media machine.
“Dick Blumenthal is now in a taxpayer financed secure location,” said Healy. “If he wants to be the U.S. Senator for Connecticut, he should step out in the light and make his case, not pretend that his work is so important that the professional staff at his office couldn’t cover for him.”
