Thank you to the Connecticut Law Tribune for the opportunity to talk about our work. Before looking ahead, I would like to acknowledge the impressive accomplishments of my dedicated and talented staff in the year just ended, under the guidance of Perry Zinn Rowthorn as deputy attorney general and my team of senior associates.

It was a productive year, both in the volume of cases and revenue generated for the state and its citizens. Through the hard work and legal skill of our 309 full-time attorneys and support staff, the office was able to generate more than $16 for every dollar expended from our operating budget of $31.7 million, including $200 million in direct benefits to consumers and businesses.
