Not long ago, writing about a raw deal served up to a customer of New London's Whaling City Ford/Mazda dealership, I lamented the loss of Richard Blumenthal's hyper consumer advocacy as Connecticut's attorney general.
I couldn't help but recall Blumenthal's long term as attorney general and his tireless advocacy for consumers and attentiveness to the news media, returning every single phone call from reporters.
Alas, I suggested, Blumenthal, now our senior U.S. senator, has moved on to a national and world stage, and I would have to pin my hopes for an intervention on current Attorney General William Tong, that he might help William Petrone of New London claim his due from a tires-for-life promise made to him when he bought his 2013 Mazda 3 new from Whaling City.
