The Auto Body Association of Connecticut (ABAC) sent a letter to the governor asking him to dismiss Insurance Commissioner Thomas Sullivan because he has not enforced insurance laws and has not investigated insurer misconduct in settling collision repair claims in the state.

"Commissioner Sullivan has gone out of his way to insulate insurers from meaningful oversight and legal enforcement," the letter said. "Commissioner Sullivan is protecting insurers at the direct expense of small business owners and consumer safety and welfare."

The letter goes on to site instances where Sullivan, even when directed by the state attorney general, "turned a blind eye to insurer misconduct" and protected insurers at the expense of consumers' rights and safety.

The letter was signed by ABAC President Bob Skrip and was initiated by a collaborative endeavor to oust Sullivan due to his alleged refusal to protect Connecticut consumers from insurers on health care issues.
