HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Susan Bysiewicz a former secretary of the state and state representative, has been sworn in as Connecticut's new lieutenant governor. The Democrat took the oath of office on Wednesday in the state Senate, the General Assembly chamber where she will preside. Bysiewicz succeeds outgoing Democratic Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman. An attorney from Middletown, the 57-year-old Bysiewicz says she and Lamont are ready to address state's challenges.
She says they'll work for paid family medical leave and fight for equality. Quoting former Democratic Gov. Ella T. Grasso, she said ``it's not enough to profess faith in the democratic process. We must do something about it.''
