AG Curtis Hill Wins Court Victory That Help State Recover Diverted Funds

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill won a legal victory on Friday that will help the state hold officials accountable for obeying laws and upholding the public trust.

A former bookkeeper for the Jennings County Clerk’s Office, Cathy Jo Robertson, has sought to avoid paying back public funds demanded by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). In an audit report, the State Board of Accounts (SBOA) determined that Robertson diverted more than $61,000 in public funds for her own use. Robertson had claimed the OAG’s complaint to recover the funds was filed after the statute of limitations had expired.

Robertson’s attorneys said the activity in question occurred from 2009 to 2011 and that the OAG became aware of it from SBOA officials in December of 2014. That being the case, her attorneys claimed, the statute of limitations would have had to begin to run no later than December of 2014.

The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled Friday, however, that the statute of limitations applicable to the OAG in such instances as this one does not begin to run until the OAG receives the final, verified report from the SBOA. In this case, the OAG received the SBOA’s report on Jan. 22, 2016, and filed its complaint against Robertson on May 5, 2017 – well within the two-year window. Because of this ruling, the OAG will be able to continue to hold public officials and employees responsible for their actions that result in misappropriation or diversion of public funds.

“Cases arising out of SBOA audits are especially important to the state because their purpose is to protect public funds,” Attorney General Hill said. “The state needs the ability to recoup taxpayer dollars and root out fraud committed by public officials and employees.”

Perdue Applauds President Trump’s Selection for USDA’s Chief Financial Officer

0

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today applauded President Donald J. Trump’s selection of Scott Soles to be the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Chief Financial Officer. Regarding the announcement, Secretary Perdue issued this statement:

“The nomination of Scott Soles to be USDA’s CFO is welcome news. With over 30 years of experience in internal and external financial auditing, consulting, and finance operations, Scott Soles will bring valuable financial management experience and knowledge to USDA,” said Secretary Perdue. “I urge the Senate to act on Scott’s nomination as soon as possible. I also look forward to the Senate voting quickly on our Food Safety, Civil Rights, and Research, Education, and Economics nominees.”

Otters Sign McIntyre, Hansen and Hrbek

0
The Evansville Otters have signed right-handed pitchers Mitch McIntyre and Danny Hrbek and inked outfielder Mitch Hansen for the 2019 season.
Mitch McIntyre is from Wichita, Kan. and joins the Otters after a stint with the Milwaukee Brewers organization in 2018.
The right-hander spent 2018 with the Arizona rookie Brewers, posting a 1-0 record with a 2.41 ERA in 18 appearances. McIntyre also struck out 23 batters in 18.2 innings pitched.
“McIntyre should prove to be a quality starter as he came highly recommended by a trusted scout,” said Otters manager Andy McCauley. “And, his agent pitched for me in 1998 with Kalamazoo, which was a helpful connection in signing Mitch.”
“I’m excited to get going this season,” said McIntyre. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about the Otters and the Frontier League in helping me reach my goal, which is to get back into affiliated ball.”
McIntyre played collegiately at Wichita State, Iowa Western Community College, Indiana State and Tabor College. In his senior season with Tabor, McIntyre went 9-2 with a 3.82 ERA with 74 strikeouts in 77.2 innings pitched and 14 games started.
“We are looking forward to seeing his stuff this Spring, and his numbers last year should translate to success in the Frontier League,” said McCauley.
“I go out to the mound with the intention of striking out every batter that comes up to the plate, and I feel like I am able to accomplish that with all my pitches,” said McIntyre.
Danny Hrbek, an Allentown, Pa. native, joins the Otters after time spent in the Kansas City Royals organization. In 2017, Hrbek split time between Idaho Falls and Arizona League rookie teams in the Royals organization.
“Danny is a power arm that should figure into a late inning role,” said McCauley.
“I’m really excited to be joining the Otters, and after talking to Andy and many others and hearing all of the great things this organization has to offer, the decision to play here became pretty easy,” said Hrbek.
Hrbek played for the Lexington Legends in the South Atlantic League in 2018. For Lexington, Hrbek was 4-2 with a 4.50 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 24 appearances and 36.0 innings pitched.
“He needs some consistent work off the mound because he was a two-way player in college,” said McCauley. “He had great years with the Kansas City Royals organization and will benefit from working with Max Peterson (Otters pitching coach) to dedicate himself to pitching.”
“I’m a ‘blue collar’ baseball player,” said Hrbek. “I come to the park everyday prepared and ready to put in the work necessary to be successful. I’m an aggressive pitcher who’s going to go right after batters.”
Hrbek played collegiately at Radford University.
“I’m excited for this opportunity and what this season has in store for us,” said Hrbek.
Mitch Hansen, from Plano, Texas, joins the Otters after affiliated time with the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees organizations. Hansen was drafted in the second round of the 2015 MLB Amateur Draft by the Dodgers out of high school.
“Mitch comes from a trusted agent who has sent me many good players in the past,” said McCauley. “We were interested in him last year before he was signed by the Yankees.”
“I have heard nothing but great things about the team and fan base,” said Hansen. “I’m excited to play for the Otters this year.”
In 2018, Hansen split time between the Great Lakes Loons of the Dodgers organization and the Charleston RiverDogs of the Yankees organization. Combined, Hansen batted .210 with 16 extra-base hits, 20 RBIs, and 22 runs in 72 games.
“Mitch figures to be a middle of the lineup player, and we are looking forward to working with him as is Bobby Segal (Otters hitting coach),” said McCauley.
“I am a player that never takes one pitch off,” said Hansen. “I strive to be a tough out in the middle of the lineup.”
The Otters will open the 25th season celebration against the Southern Illinois Miners on May 10 at Bosse Field.

ADOPT A PET

Oh sweet Tubitha. She is an older girl who is shy and confused as to why she’s in a shelter. She’s only 11 years young. Her owner’s health was declining. She’s declawed on all 4 paws so she would make the perfect companion for an apartment dweller and/or a lonely older person! (Plus, she would have a $0 adoption fee for anyone over the age of 70!) Otherwise her adoption fee is $60. She’s spayed & vaccinated and that $60 will also include her microchip. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details.

Tools for schools to combat radon exposure

0

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, over 50 percent of Indiana’s counties have dangerously high rates of radon gas. Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive, odorless gas formed by radium decay in soil. Because radon is commonly found in homes and schools, I am sponsoring legislation that would require the Indiana State Department of Health to work with schools and provide important information to help better manage their air quality.

 

The ISDH has studied the dangers of radon exposure and offers an air-quality manual for school officials to use when considering preventative measures. Under the bill, ISDH will be required to revise and distribute the manual to schools every three years, providing information on how to keep air clean and how to test for radon. Radon has been found in both new and old buildings on various types of land, but can only be detected through specific tests. If radon is found, the manual provides appropriate steps to keep students and faculty safe.

 

Radon has become the leading cause of lung cancer in the United States for non-smokers. Since radon usually builds up in the foundation of homes and schools, testing the air-quality is a simple and effective way to detect it. Unfortunately, only 10 Indiana schools have tested for radon in the past 10 years, which is a mere 4 percent of all Hoosier schools.

 

To see if there are traces of radon in homes, at-home test kits are usually available at local hardware stores and cost about $20, or a professional inspection can be scheduled. The EPA and ISDH both provide information about risks of radon, which can be found at www.epa.gov/radon.

 

To learn more about Indiana radon exposure and safety precautions, visit radonresources.com/directory/in. As always, I encourage you to share your thoughts and feedback on this legislation as it moves through the process. Contact me with any input or questions at h75@iga.in.gov or 317-232-9643.

COA: Statute of limitations for AG to act on SBOA report begins when verified report is filed

0

Katiie Stancombe for www.theindianalayer.com

Claims made by the Indiana Attorney General’s Office against a former Jennings County bookkeeper accrued upon the office’s receipt of a final investigation report, not a preliminary report, the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed Friday in a case of first impression.

In May 2017, Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill filed a complaint pursuant to Indiana Code Section 5-11-5-1 to recover public funds from Cathy Jo Robertson, a former bookkeeper for the Jennings County Clerk’s Office. Results from a special investigation conducted by the Indiana State Board of Accounts in 2014 found that during her tenure, Robertson diverted more than $61,300 in public funds for her personal gain using a “checks substituted for cash” scheme. The OAG also sought more than $184,000 in treble damages pursuant to the Crime Victim Relief Act.

Robertson filed a motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Indiana Trial Rule 12(B)(6), asserting the complaint had not been filed within the two-year statute of limitations because it had accrued between her time of employment from January 2009 to April 2011. Even if the statute of limitations did not begin to run until the OAG had discovered the alleged loss of funds, Robertson contended, the complaint was still time-barred because the OAG had actual notice of her alleged offenses when the SBOA had placed its unverified report with the OAG in December 2014.

But the Jennings Superior Court determined the plain language of section 5-11-5-1 provided that the statute of limitations commenced in January 2016, when the SBOA gave the verified report to the OAG. Robertson’s motion to dismiss was ultimately denied, and the Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed on interlocutory appeal despite Robertson’s contentions of error.

In a case of first impression, the appellate court held that the OAG’s claims under the statute did not accrue until it received the SBOA’s signed and verified final report. Finding the statute’s language to be clear, the appellate panel said the Indiana General Assembly has required the OAG to act only when the it receives the final report, not when it receives a preliminary report.

“Thus, we decline to hold that the statute of limitations begins to run prior to the time the OAG is required to act,” Judge Edward Najam wrote for the unanimous panel.

The panel further disagreed with contentions raised by Robertson and Liberty Mutual Insurance as amicus curiae that the SBOA would be able to “indefinitely toll the statute of limitations by delaying publication of the report” if time did not begin to run until the final report was received. The court also denied the assertion that the SBOA could toll the statute of limitations indefinitely by withholding placement of the final report.

The appellate panel therefore determined the two-year statute of limitations period did not begin to run until after the OAG received the final report and that the complaint was filed within that timeframe. Thus, the claim was timely filed, and the trial court did not err in its denial of Robertson’s motion to dismiss in Cathy Jo Robertson v. State of Indiana ex rel. Curtis T. Hill, Jr., Attorney General of Indiana; Ronald Bloemer, Auto-Owners Insurance Company, and OneBeacon Insurance Company, 18A-PL-1002.
