Note: Updated with confirmation from vtBuzz below.

Longtime State Senator (and nearly-disbarred lawyer) Vince Illuzzi says he plans to file candidacy petitions for Auditor General on Thursday, which is deadline day for state candidates. Thus endeth his lengthy dither on which office to run for… Auditor, Senator, or (earlier) Attorney General.

Or… DOES it????

Candidates are technically allowed to file petitions for multiple offices, so Illuzzi could file to run for re-election to his Senate seat while also keeping the option open to run for auditor, but he says he doesn’t plan on it.

“You’ll know for sure on Thursday,” Illuzzi said.

Awwww, jeeziz, Vince. Cut it out already and make up your mind.

Illuzzi’s announcement, if that’s what it can accurately be called, did have a domino effect up in the NEK. Former Democratic State Rep. John Rogers, who had been planning another bid for the House, started gathering petition signatures for a Senate run. And Republican Rep. Bob Lewis has announced his candidacy for Illuzzi’s Senate seat.

Which he hasn’t quite let go of yet. Vince Illuzzi, the Hamlet of Vermont politics.

Update: The Freeps’ politics blog, vtBuzz, says Illuzzi has, in fact, made up his mind and WILL run for Auditor as a Republican.
