Connecticut Woman Who Filed 70 Lawsuits, Inspires New Bill.

For the past two years, a woman in Connecticut has gained media attention, for filing over 70 lawsuits. She has filed lawsuits against Connecticut Light & Power, World Wrestling Federation, several towns, celebrities, rock bands, and police departments-for free. She recently filed a lawsuit against the Farmington Police Department for $2 Trillion, however, records indicate that she has never been arrested, detained, or questioned by Farmington Police.
Records do show that, while she has lost many of her lawsuits, she did settle a lawsuit with the World Wrestling Federation for $8,000.

Since she is of low income, her filing fee of $350 per lawsuit, has been waived. This has cost the state, and the taxpayers, around $70,000.
Farmington Police Chief, Melanson has been at the state capitol in Hartford, Connecticut asking lawmakers to make it more difficult for her to file lawsuits. The new law would give judges the right to deny fee waivers for those who abuse the system. Also, the judge can deny the fee waiver if the lawsuit has no merit.

As a taxpaying citizen of Connecticut, I am appalled that this woman has gotten away with this for so long. I'd rather my tax money goes to people who need the assistance. This woman is abusing the system, and robbing the taxpayers of their hard earned money. I sincerely hope the new law prevents her from abusing the system further than she has.
There is a lot that I could say about this woman, but, I have enough respect for my readers to keep my language clean, and not get personal.
