From The Middletown Press:

Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, of Middletown, is under fire for using a database of citizens’ names to send out unsoliticed e-mails seeking campaign contributions, according to the Hartford Courant.

Bysiewicz, a Democrat, is running for attorney general. Current Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is now investigating her actions.

The database of citizens’ names was assembled at taxpayers’ expense by her office, according to the Hartford Courant. She allegedly used the database to promoted her candidacy.

A Republican political activist who received unwanted Bysiewicz campaign e-mails lodged a complaint last October against Bysiewicz, charging she was misusing “official state data for a political campaign,” according to the Hartford Courant.
