AG Kane's Private Guns Aim at For-Profit Nursing Homes

This blog criticized NorCo Executive John Brown several times last year over his penchant then for no-bid consultant contracts. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Attorney General Kathleen Kane has done much the same thing. Though she has a gaggle of her own 180 lawyers, she has hired a law firm - Cohen, Milstein, Sellers and Toll - to go after four for-profit nursing homes. It gets to keep $21 million of the first $100 million in fines collecte d. She gets to keep $10,000 the form gave her campaign warchest. Altogther, she's accepted about $350,000 from ten such law firms for similar sole source contracts.

Given that she already has a fairly large staff, I have a problem with deputizing another aw firm to do the work she is supposed to do. But what really bothers me is that these are no-bid contracts.

    Kane is a short-timer who wants to use her influence while she can to cultivate her future job prospects in the private sector.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
