Best on Blumenthal

Possibly the best single piece of journalism written on Attorney General Richard Blumenthal – that has not been written BY Mr. Blumenthal – is this one turned out by Bill Cummings, an investigative reporter for the Connecticut Post.

The "investigative reporter" although it was a fair piece . . . really just took a "lay-up" from you by using info all readily availble on yer blog. You could of been co-author :)

But did you notice how the Internet version(s) changed the title and convieniently left out The BULLYING line in the title. So the fairness lasted till the next edit

Hows this for SOME "investigative reporting" Blumenthal opportunity(s) . . .

1.) why doesn't someone report on the plants and creeps AG B has following around Linda McMahon w/ camera's and the sleazy disrupting tactics. Ask around Mr. Cummings

2.) Is he Kidding! Linda McMahon is outspending him. He has brutally outspent the opposition on every case he has brought forth (tripling the states budget). . . AND NOW that the "shoe is on the other foot" he whines like a little 2 year old about it . . . lets get a psychologist to Tony Soprano him while doing investigative reporter writing here :)

3.) Why does AGB take credit for taking on Special Interests- Electric Companies??? ( I dont know I thought they are Utilities) anyway . . . al lalong while CT still pays the 2nd highest electric bill in the country to Hawaii.

4.)Hows about cramming 20 years of one-sided interviews with Press Releases of the people AG B sued . . . or I personally would settle for just ONE article STARTING out from the other side's point of view WITHOUT or with Rebuttal.

5.)The other "favoritism" AND cases he has not pursued. Chris Dodd General RE AIG

6.)Why did Illinois get the lions share of the "pharmaceutical" case $$ . . . while CT got the lions share of the legal expenses

7.)The "sue first ask questions later" mentality got him drooling for quick PR . . . but Blumy forgot to check that he was suing his "own" client. How can you forego law 101

There is plenty of opportunities for an "investigative" reporter . . . to write novels here . . . even MSM reporters can throw in some short stories

Keep chipping away at his suit of chicken feathers Don . . . because the Press won't.

The PURA soap opera continues in Connecticut: Business eyeing the exit signs

The trouble at PURA and the two energy companies it oversees began – ages ago, it now seems – with the elevation of Marissa Gillett to the chairpersonship of Connecticut’s Public Utilities Regulation Authority.   Connecticut Commentary has previously weighed in on the controversy: PURA Pulls The Plug on November 20, 2019; The High Cost of Energy, Three Strikes and You’re Out? on December 21, 2024; PURA Head Butts the Economic Marketplace on January 3, 2025; Lamont Surprised at Suit Brought Against PURA on February 3, 2025; and Lamont’s Pillow Talk on February 22, 2025:   The melodrama full of pratfalls continues to unfold awkwardly.   It should come as no surprise that Gillett has changed the nature and practice of the state agency. She has targeted two of Connecticut’s energy facilitators – Eversource and Avangrid -- as having in the past overcharged the state for services rendered. Thanks to the Democrat controlled General Assembly, Connecticut is no l...

The Murphy Thingy

It’s the New York Post, and so there are pictures. One shows Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy canoodling with “Courier Newsroom publisher Tara McGowan, 39, last Monday by the bar at the Red Hen, located just one mile north of Capitol Hill.”   The canoodle occurred one day or night prior to Murphy’s well-advertised absence from President Donald Trump’s recent Joint Address to Congress.   Murphy has said attendance at what was essentially a “campaign rally” involving the whole U.S. Congress – though Democrat congresspersons signaled their displeasure at the event by stonily sitting on their hands during the applause lines – was inconsistent with his dignity as a significant part of the permanent opposition to Trump.   Reaching for his moral Glock Murphy recently told the Hartford Courant that Democrat Party opposition to President Donald Trump should be unrelenting and unforgiving: “I think people won’t trust you if you run a campaign saying that if Donald Trump is ...

Lamont Surprised at Suit Brought Against PURA

Marissa P. Gillett, the state's chief utility regulator, watches Gov. Ned Lamont field questions about a new approach to regulation in April 2023. Credit: MARK PAZNIOKAS / CTMIRROR.ORG Concerning a suit brought by Eversource and Avangrid, Connecticut’s energy delivery agents, against Connecticut’s Public Utility Regulatory Agency (PURA), Governor Ned Lamont surprised most of the state’s political watchers by affecting surprise.   “Look,” Lamont told a Hartford Courant reporter shortly after the suit was filed, “I think it is incredibly unhelpful,” Lamont said. “Everyone is getting mad at the umpires.   Eversource is not getting everything they want and they are bringing suit. It was a surprise to me. Nobody notified me. I think we have to do a better job of working together.”   Lamont’s claim is far less plausible than the legal claim made by Eversource and Avangrid. The contretemps between Connecticut’s energy distributors and Marissa Gillett , Gov. Ned Lamont’s ...
