Attorney General candidate proposes tort reform.

Stan Lee, the GOP candidate for Attorney General, has proposed tort reform for Kentucky. Here is the press release:

Stan Lee Vows to Fight for Tort Reform
Will Liberal Trial Lawyer Jack Conway Do The Same?

[Lexington, KY] During a speech to supporters yesterday, State Representative Stan Lee proudly acknowledged his work and support of tort reform in Kentucky.

"During my four terms in the General Assembly, I have consistently worked to reduce the costs of healthcare for all Kentuckians,” stated Stan Lee. "It’s important to recognize that I am the only candidate that has fought for tort reform in the race for Attorney General. While my opponent is more concerned about lining the pockets of trial lawyers, I am focusing on solutions that put more money in the pockets of ordinary Kentuckians."

Rep. Lee has continually supported tort reform initiatives throughout his career in the General Assembly. During the 2006 session, Rep. Lee was an outspoken proponent for SB 1, a Constitutional Amendment that would have made huge strides in moving Kentucky forward by placing a cap on frivolous lawsuits.

"While I was working to reduce the costs of health care for everyone, Jack Conway and his liberal trial lawyer friends worked to stonewall the legislation because they were more concerned about hitting the litigation jackpot than in saving money," continued Lee. "This November, voters have a choice between an attorney that has always stood up for Kentucky or a liberal trial lawyer that cares more about lining his own pockets."
