―In 2007, Approximately 27,000 Unintentional Drug Overdose Deaths Occurred in the United States, One Death Every 19 Minutes ―In 2007, approximately 27,000 unintentional drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States, one death every 19 minutes. Prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem in the United States. The increase in unintentional drug overdose death rates in recent years has been driven by increased use of a class of prescription drugs called opioid analgesics. Since 2003, more overdose deaths have involved opioid analgesics than heroin and cocaine combined. In addition, for every unintentional overdose death related to an opioid analgesic, nine persons are admitted for substance abuse treatment, 35 visit emergency departments, 161 report drug abuse or dependence, and 461 report nonmedical uses of opioid analgesics. Implementing strategies that target those persons at greatest risk will require strong coordination and collaboration at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels, as well as engagement of parents, youth influencers, health-care professionals, and policy-makers.‖ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report, January 13, 2012. ―Today, prescription drug abuse is the fastest-growing drug problem in the country – and contributes to nearly 40,000 deaths and almost $200 billion in health-care costs annually. It’s estimated that, nationwide, approximately 7 million people regularly use prescription drugs for non-medical purposes; and that, in the past year alone, one in seven teens abused prescription drugs to get high. Over the last decade, fatal poisonings involving drugs like oxycodone and methadone have more than tripled. And prescription drugs now cause more overdose deaths than "street drugs" such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.‖ U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder October 28, 2012 Operation Pill Nation II Announcement KENTUCKY PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE SUMMIT February 1, 2012 UK Albert B.

Harvey U.S. Attorney Eastern District of Kentucky In January of 2010, Kerry B. Harvey was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Mr. Harvey is a native of Kentucky and brings more than 25 years of legal experience to the position. Prior to his arrival at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Mr. Harvey served two and a half years as the General Counsel for the Kentucky Cabinet of Health and Family Services in Frankfort, Ky. He directed a team of 35 lawyers that litigated cases such as health care fraud. In that role, Mr. Harvey also served as the Acting Inspector General for the Cabinet for a six month period where he led efforts to prevent and detect fraud in various programs administered by the Cabinet (i.e. health care). Mr. Harvey worked as a partner in a private law firm in Benton Ky. from 1991 until 2008. He spent much of his time litigating civil cases in which he defended banks, hospitals, local governments and local officials in federal court on alleged civil rights violations. He also served eight years as the Marshall County Attorney (1986 – 1994) while maintaining his private practice and prosecuted more than 50 jury trial cases during his tenure. Harvey earned his undergraduate degree from Murray State University in 1978 and graduated from the University of Kentucky’s College of Law in 1982. David J. Hale U.S. Attorney Western District of Kentucky David J. Hale was sworn in as United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky on May 7, 2010, following nomination by President Obama and confirmation by the United States Senate. As the District’s chief federal law enforcement officer, Mr. Hale supervises the prosecution of all federal crimes and the litigation of civil matters in which the federal government is a party, in a District encompassing 53 counties and over two million residents. He oversees the work of over 80 attorneys and support staff in Kentucky’s largest city, Louisville, as well as office locations in Bowling Green, Owensboro and Paducah. Before beginning his service as U.S. Attorney, Mr. Hale was a member of the Louisville law firm Reed Weitkamp Schell & Vice PLLC, where he concentrated his practice in commercial litigation, representing businesses and individuals from disparate industries in federal and state courts across Kentucky. While in private practice, Mr. Hale served on the governing boards of the Louisville Urban League and Kentucky Educational Television (KET). From 1995-99, Mr. Hale served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Kentucky. During his tenure as an AUSA, he prosecuted a broad array of criminal cases, including violent crime, narcotics, illegal guns, homicide, child exploitation, white collar crime. Mr. Hale also represented the government in civil matters, including affirmative civil enforcement cases, health care fraud and financial litigation. Mr. Hale is a graduate of Vanderbilt University (B.A., 1989) and the University of Kentucky College of Law (J.D., 1992). Prior to his appointment as U.S. Attorney, he also served on the University of Kentucky College of Law Visiting Committee. Mr. Hale is married and has two teenage children. He was born in the Army hospital at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. Dr. Eli Capilouto President - University of Kentucky Since beginning his term as the 12th President of the University of Kentucky, Dr. Capilouto has intently engaged in a series of conversations with stakeholders across campus and the state – conversations which have led to a collective vision for the University of Kentucky. The vision – what he refers to as the Kentucky Promise – entails a comprehensive and innovative undergraduate program to prepare our graduates to compete and lead in a global society. These efforts are complemented by the revitalization of our campus facilities, and the creation of spaces where students learn alongside our world-class faculty and researchers. Dr. Capilouto previously served as Provost of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Dean of the UAB School of Public Health. He holds several undergraduate and graduate degrees from schools within the University of Alabama system, and a Doctorate in Health Policy and Management from Harvard University. He and his wife, Dr. Mary Lynne Capilouto, have one daughter in graduate school. Michael Karpf, M.D. Michael Karpf received both his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. After an internship in Medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital, he served as a Research Associate in the Laboratory of Immunology at the National Institutes of Health. He returned to the University of Pennsylvania to complete his medical residency, fellowship in Hematology and Oncology and a Chief Residency in Internal Medicine. In 1978, he went to the Miami Veteran Administration Hospital to start a Division of General Internal Medicine. In 1979, he was recruited to the University of Pittsburgh to develop a Division of General Medicine.

  • The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats by Jennifer M
    GOVERNORS The Gubernatorial Elections of 2015: Hard-Fought Races for the Open Seats By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle Only three governors were elected in 2015. Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi are the only states that hold their gubernatorial elections during the year prior to the presidential election. This means that these three states can be early indicators of any voter unrest that might unleash itself more broadly in the next year’s congressional and presidential elections, and we saw some of this in the two races where candidates were vying for open seats. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R) was elected to a second term, running in a state that strongly favored his political party. Both Kentucky and Louisiana have elected Democrats and Republicans to the governorship in recent years, and each race was seen as up for grabs by many political pundits. In the end, each election resulted in the governorship turning over to the other political party. Though Tea Party sentiments played a signifi- he lost badly to McConnell, he had name recog- cant role in the primary elections in Kentucky and nition when he entered the gubernatorial race as Louisiana, none of the general elections reflected an anti-establishment candidate who ran an out- the vigor that the Tea Party displayed in the 2014 sider’s campaign against two Republicans who had gubernatorial elections.

  • Motion of the State of West Virginia, Et Al, to Intervene
    USCA Case #14-1112 Document #1524570 Filed: 11/26/2014 Page 1 of 14 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT In Re: Murray Energy Corporation, Petitioner, -- Case No. 14-1112 Consolidated with 14-1151 National Federation of Independent Business, Intervenor. MOTION TO INTERVENE IN SUPPORT OF THE PETITIONER The States of West Virginia, Alabama, Alaska, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wyoming, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the “States”), respectfully move to intervene in support of petitioner Murray Energy Corporation (“Murray Energy”) in Consolidated Cases Numbers 14-1112 and 14-1151. Each of the States is an amicus in Case Number 14-1112, a petitioner in related Case Number 14-1146, or both an amicus in Case Number 14- 1112 and a petitioner in related Case Number 14-1146. Accordingly, with regard to Case Number 14-1112, the States that are already amici—West Virginia, Alabama, Alaska, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky—also move to change their status from amici to intervenors. USCA Case #14-1112 Document #1524570 Filed: 11/26/2014 Page 2 of 14 Intervention should be permitted because the movants are both “directly affected by” the agency action and “timely” moving to intervene. Yakima Valley Cablevision, Inc. v. FCC, 794 F.2d 737, 744-45 (D.C. Cir. 1986). The Brief for Petitioners in related Case Number 14-1146 and the supporting declarations— which the States incorporate into this Motion and attach as exhibits—explain how the States have been harmed by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) unlawful attempt to impose requirements upon the States under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.
