He hasn’t hired any staff yet.
In fact he doesn’t know how many staff members he’ll even be allowed to hire, but that’s not stopping Richard Blumenthal from gathering names and collecting resumes.
Blumenthal, who will be sworn in as a U.S. Senator on Jan. 5, said because the new members haven’t received their budget yet he doesn’t know how many staff members he’ll have. What he does know is that he’ll need a chief-of-staff, legislative director, and state office director.
“I have begun interviewing to hire some of the key people,” Blumenthal said Friday after a press conference on one of his last acts as attorney general.
