From the Columbus Dispatch:
Attorney General Richard Cordray has beefed up his office’s public-relations staff while neglecting the state’s delay-plagued crime lab, challenger Mike DeWine charged yesterday.
DeWine produced documents showing that Cordray’s 25-employee public-relations staff earns more than $1.5 million a year and that there are at least 11 vacancies among the fingerprint examiners, forensic scientists and others who evaluate crime evidence.
That amounts to misplaced priorities, the Republican challenger said during a news conference at Ohio Republican Party headquarters.
“It’s a wrong decision,” DeWine said. “It’s a wrong priority. My priority, as I have said time and time again, is to fix the state crime lab.”

From the Arizona Republic:
The candidates for Arizona attorney general took shots at each others’ contributors Wednesday, each claiming the other is accepting money that reflects poorly on their integrity.
Felecia Rotellini, the Democratic candidate, said rival Tom Horne was wrong to accept money from charter-school operators and providers of educational services that he oversees as state schools superintendent.
Horne, the Republican nominee, pointed to money Rotellini has received from bankers and others in the financial industry that she used to regulate as superintendent of the Department of Financial Institutions. Rotellini left that post early last year, before she launched her bid for attorney general.

From WDAZ.com:
Republican Secretary of State Al Jaeger, the target of Democratic rival Corey Mock’s allegations that Jaeger is a subpar manager, prepared Wednesday to debate Mock for the first time in their campaign.
Jaeger and Mock, a medical clinic administrator and Democratic state House member from Grand Forks, were scheduled to meet Wednesday night in Bismarck as part of a series of state and local events organized by the League of Women Voters.
Mock has been critical of Jaeger’s office administration, claiming the 18-year incumbent has wasted more than $2 million on an uncompleted office technology project, paid too much overtime to some office employees and made mistakes on election paperwork.

From Projo.com:
A war of words has erupted between the chairman of the state Democratic Party and Chris Little, the Moderate Party candidate for attorney general, over Little’s environmental record as a lawyer.
Edwin R. Pacheco, the party chairman, accused Little, a lawyer in private practice, of having a long history of “defending corporate polluters that work against environmental protection.” Little, in a news release, rebutted Pacheco’s claims, saying the allegations are “completely untrue.”
Pacheco said that, in the mid-1980s, Little and his law firm defended the Massachusetts towns of Norfolk and Walpole against the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s charges that the towns violated water-pollution laws.

From the Boston Herald:
Jim McKenna, Republican candidate for attorney general, on Wednesday blasted the news that incumbent Democrat Martha Coakley helped broker a deal to sell six Caritas Christi hospitals to a private equity firm for $495 million.
Citing political contributions she received from hospital executives, McKenna called Coakley the “Queen of Political Payback.”
“She has taken over 34,000 dollars from the executives of Caritas Christi and their family members. As the Commonwealth’s Chief Law Enforcement Officer, she should possess the highest ethics and maintain impartiality and objectivity,” McKenna said in an afternoon statement. “Just today, even the Boston Globe called on Martha Coakley to slow down this deal and demand more oversight. Instead of recusing herself from this matter, like I called on her to do, she has recommended the approval of the sale of Caritas not for the consumer, but with her political donors in mind.”

From AL.com:
Virginia’s Republican attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, at a press conference here today endorsed Republican Luther Strange in his race against Democrat James Anderson to be Alabama’s attorney general.
Cuccinelli said Strange as attorney general would join him in fighting the health care overhaul Congress passed in March, which both men called an unconstitutional expansion of federal power.
Among other things, the law eventually will require most Americans to have health care coverage or face federal penalties.

From MorningSun.net:
GOP candidates for governor and attorney general said Monday they would fight the new federal health care law, including possible litigation.
U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, the GOP nominee for governor and Kansas Senate majority leader Derek Schmidt, who is running for attorney general, both made the pledge, saying that it will be up to the court to reject the new health care legislation signed into law earlier this year.
“If fully enacted, the Obama Health Care plan would devastate the Kansas budget with unaffordable mandates, threatening every other priority in state government,” Brownback said. “On health care, we believe in the Kansas way, not the Obama way.”
Earlier this year, Democrat Attorney General Steve Six decided to not file a lawsuit challenging the law, or to join states that were fighting it in court. At the time, he said that the cost of the suit would not make the suit worth while to Kansas.
