Governor asks state to sue Arkansas college for return of kickback-tainted grants
by Doug Thompson
The Department of Finance and Administration has asked state Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's office to sue Ecclesia College to reclaim at least $600,000 of kickback-tainted grants the college received from the General Improvement Fund.
"It appears that a significant portion, if not all, of these funds were procured in coordination with criminal activity that has been and is being prosecuted by the United States attorney's office," Larry Walther, director of the state's department of finance and administration, wrote to Deputy Attorney General Monty Baugh in a letter dated Sept. 7.
