Nursing homes crackdown chief claims favoritism in state
Charlene Harrington, who led a statewide nursing home enforcement push before being fired, told the Little Hoover Commission that Health Deputy Ray Procunier met with industry executives and overruled enforcement decisions. She accused him of consolidating power and neglecting federal standards, a charge Procunier denies. The commission referred the matter to the attorney general to assess potential violations. Harrington, 35, led licensing and certification, was fired July 14, and remains as a nursing consultant. Hauptman vowed tougher enforcement.
