The tape of Dr. Luketich's conversation about suboxone is still in litigation over whether it was illegal or not and whether there could be an "expectation of privacy" in the room where the talk happened, but it was ultimately irrelevant to the question of whether he violated the law/regulations by billing the government for surgeries when he was shuttling among them. He even tried to use the tape to keep the whistleblower from getting a share of the settlement, but was denied by a judge who said it had nothing to do with the case that settled.

>Zappala said the iconic West Mifflin amusement park is unsafe and has been uncooperative with his office since a Sept. 24 shooting at the park left three people wounded. No one is charged in connection with the shooting.

so.... uncooperative since Sep 24th but waits until 2 months before the election to call a news conference about it.

I think the bigger issue is he's not law enforcement nor is he a legislator, thus he has no authority to make demands. It's one thing if they treated this like a nuisance bar, which we have laws to deal with. But he's looking to sue them for not bending to his will, which is overreaching.
