Herschel Elkins, who created the Bureau of Automotive Repair, dies at 87
TAlways known as more of an activist than a bureaucrat, Herschel Elkins, who fought for more than 40 years to protect consumers from illegal business practices, passed away on October 7. His work as an attorney spanned decades as he served nine attorney generals from 1956 to 2006 and represented the office in more than 150 cases. Elkins most notably helped write the Lemon Law, giving car buyers recourse if the automobile they purchased was defective, and created the Bureau of Automotive Repair to keep mechanics honest.
