This just in - State Health Plan director George Stokes was fired last night. NCNN's Matt Willoughby says the SHP's oversight co-chair Hugh Holliman confirmed it.
No official word yet on the reason for the firing, though there are (unsubstantiated) rumors of serious accounting problems. The SHP's CFO COO/Deputy Chief Dan Soper resigned a couple of weeks ago.
Update: Wonder if it's connected to Stokes' head-to-head with Auditor Les Merritt?
I'll post more here when I know more. If you've got more on this, send it my way.
