Looking Back: 2015 Gold King Mine Settlement

Épisode 53

jeudi 5 septembre 2024 • Durée 16:09

Utah recently received the final settlement payment from the federal government in the 2015 Gold King Mine lawsuit. You may recall the dramatic pictures of bright yellow and orange water flowing down Colorado’s Animas and San Juan Rivers into Utah and Lake Powell. That water was at least 3 million gallons of mine tailings full of arsenic and heavy metals from the Bonita Mine. Utah sued the EPA, which caused the spill, and now the legal case is complete.

Even though the blowout was an accident, the EPA admitted responsibility and a settlement came after some hard work by the attorney general’s office. The state received more than $7 million, and the final payment came recently.

Meanwhile, the pollution in that water was significant enough that Governor Herbert at the time declared a State of Emergency to preserve the health, safety and welfare of citizens as well as the interests of Utah farms and businesses, which led to the lawsuit.

In this edition of Legally Speaking, Craig Anderson, the Director of the Environment and Health Divisions at the Utah Attorney General’s Office shares some details about the case that weren’t available until now.

Update on Utah's Opioid Settlements

Épisode 52

vendredi 23 août 2024 • Durée 10:04

As the Opioid problem continues to plague our state, a lot of people are curious about how much money the various settlements have brought to Utah. But the reality is that Utah’s Opioid Settlements are best described as works in progress.

Utah has received money from various sources: pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies and others. But there is no bottom-line amount to report, since there are important legal actions still pending.

Here is the picture so far: Settlements that have been finalized will return about $495 million to be divided between the state and the counties. ($252 will come to the state, while about $242 million will go to the counties.) Payments will come over different timeframes ranging from immediate payment to payments over up to 17 years. As of August, 2024, the state has actually received about $69 million, while the counties have received about $59 million.

The settlements are important to our state, since the opioid crisis is still taking an unprecedented toll on families and is ruining lives as the problem evolves.

On this edition of Legally Speaking, we’re getting perspective from our top attorney over the Opioid settlements: Kevin McLean, Assistant Attorney General in the White Collar and Commercial Enforcement Division of our office.

Ridd Case: Roomate Assaulted by a Virus

Épisode 41

vendredi 10 mai 2024 • Durée 16:12

Poisoning a best friend and roommate. This podcast is a case study in the prosecution of a woman charged with poisoning her roommate in Millcreek, Utah.

In 2019, the Utah Attorney General’s office worked with federal authorities to convict Janie Lynn Ridd of abuse and possession of a biological agent. Charges state that Ridd purchased a Staphylococcus strain and gave it to her roommate over time. That roommate was supposed to be her best friend.

It’s a case the Attorney General’s office worked on with the U.S. Department of Justice. The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Michael Gadd, who commented on the case for Legally Speaking.

Open Public Meetings Laws Keep the Public’s Business Public

Épisode 40

vendredi 3 mai 2024 • Durée 12:44

Whenever a meeting involves the public’s business—whether it’s a city council, the legislature or any branch of state or local government—that meeting is subject to the Open and Public Meetings Act (OPMA).

These days, there are many meetings in our state, and controversial issues are often discussed. The Utah Attorney General's Office is one of the entities authorized to field concerns about open meetings and enforce OPMA. The job belongs to the Civil Review Committee, led by Assistant Attorney General Elliott Clark, who joins Legally Speaking to discuss how OPMA works.

CART: Utah's Child Abduction Response Team

Épisode 42

mercredi 1 mai 2024 • Durée 14:08

Child abductions and missing children, when they happen, are devastating to a family, and in fact to entire communities. A kidnapped or missing child is often cited as a parent’s worst nightmare. Although they’re relatively rare, a fast response is essential. Fortunately, law enforcement has crafted a response with the Utah Child Abduction Response Team or CART.

In the Utah Attorney General’s Office, the person leading our participation in the Utah CART is Sara Lundquist, who joins Legally Speaking to talk more about it.

Medicaid Fraud Control Unit: Preventing Medicaid Fraud and Abuse

Épisode 38

mercredi 24 avril 2024 • Durée 13:45

The Utah Attorney General’s Office has an office dedicated to protecting the integrity of the Medicaid program. Working with federal agents, we take on fraud, waste, or abuse of the system. It’s called the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit—or MFCU.

Every state has a MFCU, but Utah received the 2023 Inspector General’s Award for Excellence, which is a huge feather in the cap of everyone who works in the office and to our guest, Kaye Lynn Wooten, its director. Listen to Kaye Lynn answer questions about how the MFCU does its job on behalf of victims and taxpayers.

To report fraud and/or abuse, visit the MFCU page on the Utah Attorney General's Website.

Read more about a recent case where a man was convicted of a 2nd-degree felony and sent to prison for financial abuse of a vulnerable adult—his mother.

Why State Agency Counsel Matters

Épisode 36

jeudi 18 avril 2024 • Durée 06:49

Is the AG’s Office Utah's law firm?

One of the Constitutional functions of the Utah Attorney General’s office is to act as counsel for every state agency. In essence, the office is the state’s law firm. State Agency Counsel is one of the divisions comprising hundreds of attorneys at the AGO.

Our office has attorneys who work exclusively for various state agencies as their attorneys and specialize in specific areas. Amanda Montague oversees this little-known office function every day.

This episode of Legally Speaking explains just how important the work performed by these attorneys is.

mercredi 10 avril 2024 • Durée 14:52
