Drummond continues fight for Oklahoma homeowners in State Farm response
Attorney General Gentner Drummond filed a response yesterday opposing State Farm Fire and Casualty Company's petition asking the Oklahoma Supreme Court to block his intervention to protect Oklahoma homeowners.
The filing includes a letter from Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready formally requesting Drummond's continued investigation, intervention and prosecution in Hursh v. StateFarm et al. over a coordinated scheme to limit roof-related insurance payouts by denying or reducing valid hail and wind claims.
"This case affects all Oklahomans with State Farm policies and threatens the integrity of the state's insurance marketplace," Drummond said. "I appreciate the opportunity to work with Commissioner Mulready to ensure homeowners insurance consumers are protected. I will always fight for hardworking Oklahomans and to hold businesses accountable to the law."
Mulready said he wants all Oklahomans to have a fair and competitive insurance marketplace.
"Our collaborative work is in the best interests of Oklahoma consumers," Mulready said. "My priority since 2019 has been consumer protection and making sure all Oklahomans have a fair and competitive insurance marketplace to serve their needs. The work on this case doesn't stop us from carrying out our constitutional and statutory authority we use to hold insurers accountable for any market conduct issue, and I appreciate Attorney General Drummond for his work to investigate and pursue these matters."
Drummond filed his motion to intervene in December, asserting that while State Farm marketed its policies as providing full roof replacement-cost coverage, the company predetermined claim outcomes to meet corporate savings targets rather than honoring policy promises. Drummond asked the court to award penalties, damages, structural reforms and the recovery of profits State Farm allegedly obtained through its scheme.
Drummond said profiting from increased premiums while reducing claim fulfillment undermines public confidence in the insurance system and places Oklahoma homeowners at unacceptable risk.
Drummond maintained in yesterday's filing that he has express legal authority to intervene in the case to protect the collective interests of Oklahoma insurance consumers.

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Feb. 6 -- Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown issued the following news release:

Attorney General Brown Opposes Trump Administration Rollback of Fuel Economy Standards
Attorney General Anthony G. Brown joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general, four cities, and one county in submitting a comment letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opposing its proposal to weaken corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards for passenger cars and light trucks.
Historically, NHTSA's standards have reduced consumer costs by improving fuelefficiency for vehicles and decreasing gasoline demand. However, the new proposed rule would significantly weaken fuel economy standards. In the comment letter, the coalition asserts that the proposed rule is unlawful and would hurt consumers and the planet.
In 1975, Congress enacted the Energy Policy and Conservation Act which required NHTSA to establish "maximum feasible" fuel economy standards and to consider technological feasibility, economic practicability, the effect of other motor vehicle standards of the government, and the need to conserve energy. To set fuel economy standards, NHTSA first models a baseline fleet and then considers what, if any, additional actions manufacturers could take to improve their fuel economy for the future model years in question. In past rulemakings, including during the first Trump administration, NHTSA started from a realistic baseline fleet that included the millions of electric vehicles that already existed on our nation's highways and roads.
The current proposed rule misinterprets NHTSA's statutory authority and forces the agency to ignore electric vehicles in the baseline fleet and throughout the rulemaking, leading to a dramatically distorted analysis of the "maximum feasible" fuel economy level that the auto industry can achieve. NHTSA has also utilized defective analyses of vehicle affordability and sales, fleet turnover, fuel savings, and vehicle safety to make a profoundly harmful and destructive rule look net-beneficial to society. For example, NHTSA covers up billions of dollars in lost fuel benefits - money that drivers would save at the pump under its previous fuel economy standards - that its proposed rule would take from consumers and transfer back to oil companies. It also ignores hundreds of billions of dollars in future damages from climate change-driven disasters, flouting the best science and research. The proposal also assumes that the United States does not really need to conserve energy, after all - treating the high gasoline prices drivers pay and the instability of global oil markets as an even trade for fossil fuel companies' profits.
In the comment letter, the coalition argues that:
* NHTSA's decision to pretend EVs and EV sales do not exist is contrary to law and bad agency decision-making.
* NHTSA's proposal contravenes its mandate from Congress to conserve energy.
* NHTSA's termination of credit trading between auto manufacturers is arbitrary and capricious and harms affordability.
* NHTSA's proposal is based on its defective analyses of vehicle affordability and sales, fleet turnover, fuel savings benefits, and vehicle safety.
In sending this letter, Attorney General Brown is joined by the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, as well as the Cities of Chicago, Denver, New York, and San Francisco, both city and county.

HARTFORD, Connecticut, Feb. 6 -- Connecticut Attorney General William Tong issued the following news release:

Attorney General Tong Responds to Concierge Apartments
*
(Hartford, CT) - Attorney General William Tong today responded to representatives for Concierge Apartments, blasting the tone-deaf and callous response from the private equity backed multi-billion-dollar real estate firm to critically deteriorating conditions at the Rocky Hill complex.
The Office of the Attorney General is exploring all legal options and expects to take additional action in the coming days.
Conciergehas been the subject of multiple code enforcement actions and tenant complaints over the years, including loss of hot water, and failure to keep the property cleaned, plowed and accessible. According to tenants, lights, appliances and elevators are routinely out of order, and work orders ignored, among other complaints. Freezing temperatures have now caused pipes across the complex to freeze and burst, resulting in loss of hot water and extensive damage to buildings and personal property. The Town of Rocky Hill has been forced to issue evacuation orders as the town has determined parts of the complex to be unsafe for occupancy.
Tenants have received callous and unhelpful responses to pleas for assistance with property damage and alternative housing.
Attorney General Tong, State Rep. Kerry Wood and State Sen. Matthew Lesser first wrote attorneys for Concierge on Wednesday, demanding that the company provide written responses to: (1) how the company would pay for lodging and prorate rent and utilities for all tenants who have been unable to consistently access hot water or other essential services; (2) a detailed plan for reimbursing tenants for loss of personal property; (3) a detailed plan for making both immediate emergency repairs and ensuring long term maintenance of the apartment complex; and (4) a written policy permitting residents who wish to seek other long-term housing to terminate their leases without penalty.
On Thursday, local counsel for Concierge responded.
Attorney General Tong today released a new letter to Concierge, calling out the company's callous and indifferent response.
"Your response is worse than tone deaf, it is callous. In this extreme cold - projected to be -2 and -3 degrees, respectively tomorrow and Sunday - your response could at best be characterized as indifferent," the letter states. "Whether your client spent $22 million in the past or expect to spend $2 million now proves only one thing -Concierge Apartments has clearly not done enough to keep these residents safe and honor the legal and ethical obligations to them and their families. No doubt Concierge has put a price on their safety and whatever that price is decided to be is wholly inadequate."
Today's letter reiterates a demand for significant rental credits, reimbursements for out-of-pocket costs, and the option for tenants to void leases should they choose to do so.
"It is unconscionable to demand that tenants, who are mostly working people now struggling to put a roof over their heads during the coldest stretch in recent memory, honor their contractual obligations to a Los Angeles-based real estate empire that boasts $15 billion in real estate assets under management in 23 states. This is particularly appalling when Concierge itself may be shirking their legal and contractual obligations. I am hard pressed to believe that a Connecticut court would see it any other way - and I anticipate that a Connecticut court would strongly consider these contracts to be voidable. This catastrophe has made Concierge, and its shadowy web of ownership interests, the posterchild for everything that is wrong with private equity owning a stake in basic goods and services," the letter states.

Attorney General Bonta Defeats Trump Administration in Court Again, Continues Protecting Over $10 Billion in Child Care and Family Assistance Funding
*
OAKLAND -California Attorney General Rob Bonta today secured a court order that continues blocking the Trump Administration's illegal attempt to freeze over $10 billion in federal funding for childcare and family assistance programs. Last month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) imposed a funding freeze exclusivelyon five Democratic-led states -California, New York, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota -on the sole basis of unsupported claims of "serious concerns about widespread fraud and misuse of taxpayer dollars." To protect the Congressionally-authorized funds that support critical services, the attorneys general of the five states sued HHS on January 8 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, challenging the funding freeze as well as HHS's extraordinarily broad requests for data and documents related to the states' use of the funding. Less than 24 hours later, Attorney General Bonta and his colleagues secured a temporary restraining order, which blocked the funding freeze and requests for data and documents for 14 days. On January 16, the attorneys general filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to ensure the court's protections remain in effect while the litigation proceeds. On January 23, Judge Vernon Broderick extended the temporary restraining order for an additional 14 days. Today, he granted the states' motion for a preliminary injunction, continuing to preserve over $10 billion in funding "until a decision on the merits in this case[.]"
"We are pleased that the court has once again sided with us. The Trump Administration's actions are not only unlawful -they are cruel, targeting the most vulnerable among us," said Attorney General Bonta. "My fellow attorneys general and I will not relent in this case, and we are confident that we will ultimately prevail in permanently blocking the unlawful funding freeze."
The funding at issue benefits millions of Californians -including children, families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities -through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, the Child Care and Development Fund, and the Social Services Block Grant. Of the $10 billion, approximately $5 billion was frozen in California alone by the Trump Administration.

Attorney General Alan Wilson sends letter to EPA to remove woke EV standards
*
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson joined a letter to the EPA alongside 23 states supporting the end of the Biden-era electric vehicle mandates.
"These mandates to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road only raised the costs of vehicles for Americans," Attorney General Wilson said. "Bringing these fuel standards back in line ensures our vehicles are safe, efficient, and affordable."
The states urge the EPA to adopt "The Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule III for Model Years 2022 to 2031 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks" rule. In the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), Congress directed the Secretary of Transportation to set corporate average fuel-economy (CAFE) standards for "automobiles" at the "maximum feasible" level for each model year. The intent of Congress did not include the phasing out of internal-combustion engines in favor of electric vehicles.
"Electric vehicles are not the problem," Attorney General Wilson stated. "Unlawful mandates that seek to control the market only bring constraint and harm to consumers and the automobile industry."
Attorney General Wilson is joined in this letter by Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Attorney General Mayes Wins Fight Against Unconstitutional Abortion Restrictions
Attorney General Kris Mayes today issued the following statement on the ruling in Isaacson v. State of Arizona, a case brought by plaintiffs to strike down unconstitutional abortion restrictions after the passage of Prop 139:
Today's ruling is a major victory for Arizona women, families, and their doctors. The court has affirmed what we've known all along: the abortion restrictions challenged in this case are unconstitutional.
Arizonavoters made their voices heard when they passed Proposition 139, enshrining the fundamental right to abortion in our state constitution. Today, the court honored that decision by striking down laws that interfered with patients' healthcare decisions and the doctor-patient relationship.
This ruling affirms that Arizona women have a constitutional right to access the reproductive healthcare they need without unnecessary government interference and that doctors must be allowed to provide care based on their medical judgment, not on the beliefs of anti-abortion politicians. As my office did in this case, we will continue to defend reproductive freedom and uphold the will of Arizona voters.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL STOPS $10 BILLION FREEZE OF CHILD CARE AND ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES
*
Chicago - Attorney General Kwame Raoul today released the following statement after winning a preliminary injunction that prevents the Trump administration from carrying out its freeze of over $10 billion in funding for child care and support for vulnerable families.
"This is another win that stops the Trump administration from illegally withholding federal funding without justification, whichwould ultimately hurt Illinois families and harm our state's economy," Raoul said. "Congress enacted this critical funding to support families and help working parents access child care. The president does not have the authority to withhold it, particularly as a punishment to his perceived political opponents. I will continue to stand with my colleagues to protect our most vulnerable residents from being used as pawns."
On Jan. 8, Attorney General Raoul joined four other attorneys general in suing the administration to protect three critical programs from the administration's attempt to target its political opponents by freezing over $10 billion in federal funds to the states. The freeze targeted funds for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, and the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) in the five states.
On Jan. 9, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the states' motion for a temporary restraining order, blocking the implementation of the funding freeze. The court today granted the states' motion for a preliminary injunction, continuing to block the funding freeze and allowing the states to draw down funds for the three targeted programs.
Joining Raoul in filing this lawsuit are the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Minnesota and New York.
