From Courant.com:
The state’s Republican Party has hired a lawyer to challenge Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz in the lawsuit she filed last week to seek a “declaratory ruling” that she is eligible to run for state attorney general.
The Republican State Central Committee Tuesday night authorized GOP State Chairman Chris Healy to hire a prominent Hartford attorney, Eliot B. Gersten, to intervene in the lawsuit.
The move raises the possibility that Bysiewicz’s legal qualifications will be aired prominently in a court hearing. She could face the unusual prospect, as a statewide elected official, of having to testify under oath about how she has spent her time in her 11 years in office.
