M&T in New York, which is seeking regulatory approval to buy People’s United Financial, recently disclosed plans for around 1,000 layoffs. The backlash focused on job cuts in the seller’s hometown of Bridgeport has been stronger than in other recent deals.
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.

Ben & Jerry s has joined the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel BDS cause (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions). This has been well covered in the news. This is clearly anti-Semitic since Ben & Jerry s has not targeted any other nation in the world except for Israel for its moral litmus test.
Boycott Ben and Jerry’s and tell your representatives in Hartford and Washington to take action to support the boycott of Ben and Jerry s. I have already emailed Attorney General Tong and my member of Congress, Jim Himes.
