First Annual Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act CLE is a success!
I am pleased to report that the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act CLE seminar at the Office of the Attorney General was an overwhelming success, with more than 78 attendees coming from virtually every agency of Virginia state government, from the OAG, and from the private bar as well.
The speakers were Special Assistant Attorney General Guy Horsley, Assistant Attorney General Tracey D. Stith, Jeb White from TAF, and myself. Deputy Attorney General Bill Mims gave some introductory remarks, and we also heard from Randy Clouse, who serves as Director the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
Aubrey Ford, from CantorArkema was also there. Aubrey, for those of you who don't know, was the architect behind the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act's passage back in 2002. As I have mentioned several times lately, getting the statute passed without a single dissenting vote in both houses of the Virginia legislature is a truly monumental achievement, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to Aubrey.
Many thanks to all of the attendees and especially to Guy Horsley for taking the initiative and setting up the seminar. Hopefully, this will become an annual event!
