Profile of Mr. Suzan Bibisi, Husband of Linda McMahon's Campaign Staffer

There’s a nice piece in the Connecticut Mirror about Chris Healy, the Republican Party state chairman. See “Healy: It’s not about the old college try,” http://www.ctmirror.org/story/healy-its-not-about-old-college-try.

But stepping out of good-old-boy mode here for a moment, I wonder why the article doesn’t mention that Healy’s wife, journalist Suzan Bibisi, has a high-paying — and some say do-nothing — job with Linda McMahon’s Senate campaign.

Officially, I believe Bibisi is supposed to be a press spokesperson. However, the one time I directed a query to her, I heard back from Ed Patru.

The campaign’s report to the Federal Election Commission shows that Bibisi drew checks totaling $13,700 between November 30 and December 31. Patru, meanwhile, earns about $9,000 a month, according to the review of the FEC filing by the Hartford Courant’s Daniela Altimari.
