The West Virginia Attorney General has sent letters to two clinics, seeking to assess abortion regulations in the state.
CHARLESTON (AP) — The West Virginia Department of
Health and Human Resources says two agency attorneys don't have the
grounds to sue it.
Media outlets report that the DHHR asked the
Kanawha County Circuit Court on Tuesday to dismiss whistleblower
lawsuits filed by agency attorneys Susan Perry and Jennifer Taylor.
Private
attorneys representing the DHHR argue in a motion to dismiss that Perry
and Taylor haven't been fired or suspended without pay.
Perry,
Taylor and DHHR Assistant Secretary John Law were placed on
administrative leave with pay in July. Law isn't taking part in the
court action.
The lawsuits claim the DHHR and Secretary Rocco
Fucillo retaliated against Tayor and Perry after they raised questions
about the scoring of bids for a six-figure advertising contract.
