Avon Republican Attorney Martha Dean is campaigning for state attorney general on an anti-Blumenthal platform.
Dean, who had run unsuccessfully against state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in 2002, is still fighting him even though Blumenthal is running for the U.S. Senate instead of re-election.
In her press conference announcing her candidacy, said she would run a much different, less anti-business office.
She claimed Blumenthal filed “gotcha” lawsuits.

However her lengthy statement, Entering AG Race 3-16-10, does not have any examples of improper suits.
So I thought I would give her an opportunity to tell voters exactly which suits she would not have filed on behalf of consumers or state agencies.
Dean, however passed giving a single example.
“Hi George, I couldn’t respond given the schedule over the past week and the fact that your e-mail requested “within the past 2 years,” which would have required me to do a lot of work to track down this information through others involved,” she wrote me. “What I can say is that nothing has changed over there in the past 2 years and there are plenty of readily available cases that were initiated outside of that time period.
“I’m really not spending any time these days researching Blumenthal and his history. My focus is on my own plans to take the office and the state in a very different direction — law enforcement that is vigorous, fair and just while discontinuing the anti-law-abiding business stance of the current occupant of the office,” she wrote.
Just a suggestion, but when someone accuses someone else of improprieties its always good to have at least one example.
