Many weekends over the past two years, several lawyers at the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office found themselves working round-the-clock. One of them was Matthew Budzik, an assistant attorney general, who even made phone calls from a pew in his family’s church one Friday night in 2013 while his children were watching a movie in the community center.
As the setting would suggest, the phone calls were for what Budzik viewed as a righteous cause. The Connecticut Attorney General’s Office was trying to build a coalition of states to join litigation against bond- and securities-rating company Standard & Poors. “It was a frantic night on the phone,” Budzik recalled, “trying to reach attorneys general and assistant attorneys general in other states, but we got the support we needed.”
