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 Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

Donna

I am writing this for members of my family, and for others who may be interested. My twin sister Donna died a few hours ago of stage three lung cancer. The end came quickly and somewhat unexpectedly. She was preceded in death by Lisa Pesci, my brother’s daughter, a woman of great courage who died still full of years, and my sister’s husband Craig Tobey Senior, who left her at a young age with a great gift: her accomplished son, Craig Tobey Jr. My sister was a woman of great strength, persistence and humor. To the end, she loved life and those who loved her. Her son Craig, a mere sapling when his father died, has grown up strong and straight. There is no crookedness in him. Thanks to Donna’s persistence and his own native talents, he graduated from Yale, taught school in Japan, there married Miyuki, a blessing from God. They moved to California – when that state, I may add, was yet full of opportunity – and both began to carve a living for them...

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 ...
