JOE PADUDA ASKS: WHAT IF YOU WERE CONVICTED OF A CRIME THAT WASN’T?
Insurance expert Joe Paduda sees what the North Dakota media cannot and writes on the Managed Care Matters site that:
Sure, the misdemeanor charges were ludicrous; authorizing the purchase of small gift cards, balloons, and food for employee meetings and celebrations, and a raft of other contrived accusations which together wouldn't amount to enough to give even the squeaky-cleanest among us any pause. In total, Blunt 'signed for' $2,693.15 over three years; all of it with the consent of the fund's legal and financial departments.
But this is an entirely different situation - this isn't just piling up a bunch of ridiculous charges in an effort to bring down a CEO, no, this is outright fraud on the part of the prosecutor.
FRAUD ON THE PART OF THE PROSECUTOR!
I contacted Feland several times over the last few weeks, asked her directly about this situation, and she refused to address the key question - had she provided Blunt with a copy of the State Auditor's memo which cleared Blunt of any malfeasance related to Spencer?
FELAND REFUSES TO ANSWER!
Paduda then asks the primary question:
What in the hell is going on in North Dakota?
And why are they persecuting a guy who's performance at the ND state work comp fund was exemplary?
