Super agency urged for area consumers
Tucson attorney James Fein led a push for a single state and local government consumer protection super agency to replace the separate offices of the attorney general, county attorney, and city attorney. He argues hearings could replace forms and delay, saving time and money for consumers and merchants alike. He also urged business groups to create industry wide councils to settle complaints before government involvement.
