Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti’s office confirmed that former attorney general Herbert Slatery continues to do legal work for the state after leaving office last fall, reports the Tennessean. In January, Slatery was tapped by Skrmetti to assist the AG's office with "active and continuing oversight" of cooperation agreements under Tennessee's Hospital Cooperation at a pay rate of $400 per hour. Records of external legal appointments obtained by the Tennesseean from January 2022 to the present show the state has hired over 20 lawyers and their firms to assist with a range of legal cases and issues.
