During a Monday appearance before Gazette editors, Republican attorney general candidate Dan Greear said if elected, he would seek legislation spelling out when and how outside legal counsel should be hired by the attorney general’s office.
“Right now, there’s no transparency, no public input in hiring outside attorneys,” said Greear. “No legal justification is needed to hire them, and political donors often seem to be the attorneys who are hired.”
