From Capitol Watch:

As of Tuesday afternoon, Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz still had not given Attorney General Richard Blumenthal the formal request that she vowed last week to submit, seeking his legal opinion on whether she qualifies as a candidate for attorney general. But, about 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, a spokeswoman for her campaign said that Bysiewicz would submit a formal letter sometime Wednesday.

Campaign spokeswoman Tanya Meck said Bysiewicz is still working on the request but “the plan is to get it to [Blumenthal]” by Wednesday.

Meck said Tuesday it will be the former – in her official capacity.
