Mass. Attorney General Martha Coakley has bounced back from losing the 2010 Senate race in part by becoming a bulldog on behalf of homeowners: "Since 2009, Coakley has resolved cases with three investment firms over how they packaged and sold home loans. Last month, Royal Bank of Scotland, parent of Citizens Bank, became the third investment bank to settle a suit. Together, the three settlements have funneled $214 million to the state." [Globe]
