Kentucky A.G. Jack Conway doing good things.
I wanted to let you know about the latest developments in the Office of the Attorney General.

Last week, I announced a $26.4 million settlement with the partner-members of Passport. Passport is the Medicaid service provider for the Greater Louisville region. I launched an investigation in December and concluded that the Passport partners illegally diverted Medicaid funds from Passport back to doctor groups and hospitals. I was able to recover $26.4 million on behalf of taxpayers and worked with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to ensure that Passport had increased accountability moving forward.

Read more about the settlement by visiting the following links:

Since becoming Attorney General, I've recovered more than $200 million for taxpayers, and Medicaid Fraud collections are up more than 600%.
That's a record of results and fighting for issues that are important to Kentucky families. But there is still much more work to do, which is why I need your help in this campaign for a second term.

2. Jack Conway has been an excellent AG for Kentucky...
The situation with Passport is only one example. He should have been our senator. However, between a horrid mistake by his campaign, the commercial against Paul about his alleged 'kidnapping' of a fellow student in college and the continuing stupidity of people who are fawning over the Tea Party..he lost. Lost to a scum bag, Rand Paul, who is dangerous and frightening.

Conway was an inexperienced candidate who grew tremendously through the campaign until that huge error. He had a chance to win; I only hope he will run again. He's a smart, capable guy.

3. He sure is.

He should do much better in his reelection campaign.

Plus--the couple's second baby was born on July 4. Take that, T party! :evilgrin:
