Majority calls bs on Jim Hood’s avoidance of Obamacare fight

Taxpayer Cost A Smokescreen For Hood

Hood, who has made a living out of being a populist Democrat, recently talked about how the state is spending money simply for a political exercise on the part of the governor. This essentially gave Hood the opportunity to switch from his position, which is certainly unpopular- supporting Obamacare- to one about how he opposes spending taxpayer money.

But Mike Wallace, who is outside counsel to the state, was brought in at no cost. Private lawyers are not getting paid I have told. And as of last year, the state’s share of paying the national lawyers was around $2,000.
