House-calling denturist charged with cheating Medicaid patients

One patient complains about “George Washington Teeth” that didn’t fit

OLYMPIA—When Phyllis Wicks moved to Redmond, she was happy to find a denturist who makes house calls. Wicks, a senior in her mid-80s, has difficultly getting around. But state investigators say that after billing a taxpayer-funded public health program for nearly $2,000, the denturist then delivered what Wicks describes as poorly fitting “George Washington teeth.”

States apply heavy hand concerning lead in toys

McKenna announces $12 million settlement with Mattel

SEATTLE – Attorneys general for Washington and 38 other states today announced that they reached a $12 million settlement with Mattel, Inc., and its subsidiary, Fisher-Price, Inc., resolving a 16-month investigation into the events that resulted in the voluntary nationwide recall of nearly 2 million toys for excessive lead paint in 2007.

Network Services agrees to comply with state charity laws

SEATTLE – A Sammamish-based nonprofit organization recently entered into an agreement with the Washington Attorney General’s Office concerning its charitable solicitations.

The agreement with Network Services of Puget Sound does not include a finding or admission of wrongdoing. It resolves a complaint the Attorney General’s Office brought against the organization in December 2008.

Stenson execution update

The Washington Supreme Court has denied the State's motion to vacate the stay of execution.  The court denied the motion without prejudice, indicating the State may renew the motion before the superior court in 90 days.  This means the execution will not occur on December 3, 2008.  Rather, the execution date will reset in the future once the stays are lifted.
