Attorney general Dick Blumenthal, wyho yesterday indicated that Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz may need a court ruling on whether she’s had enough practice as a lawyer to be attorney general, is seated at one end of the four constitutional officers, and Bysiewicz is at the other, separated by Comtroller Nancy Wyman and Treasurer Denise Nappier, as Gov. Rell offers her budget adjustments.
I believe that they were following protocol and sitting in their “Constitutional order.” That is, the order in which the offices appear in Article IV of the CT State Constitution and Article I of the Amendments to the CT State Constitution. It goes: SOTS, Treasurer, Comptroller, AG. They even speak in this order at joint events. Their official state vehicle license plates are, I believe, 3 through 6.
