State probes Obsitnik bid for governor

HARTFORD — The State Elections Enforcement Commission has opened an investigation into Steve Obsitnik’s campaign for governor, focusing on the possible illegal coordination with an independent organization that shared contractors with the Westport tech executive attempt to win the Republican nomination. The SEEC on Wednesday voted to start the probe and issue an investigation into Obsitnik’s connection with FixCT, an independent group that has raised $127,000 to support him. State law requires candidates to have no contact with such independent groups, including the sharing of vendors. Obsitnik, who qualified for the primary during the GOP state convention in May, has been attempting for the last month to secure $1.
