Attorney general challenges CPRIT foundation’s expenses


American-Statesman Staff
The Texas attorney general is challenging some of the expenses charged by the foundation created to support the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.
In a letter Monday, the state’s top lawyer disallowed $149,316, including more than $84,000 in retainers for Jennifer Stevens’ JHL Company, which managed CPRIT Foundation, as well as money for lawyers, a lobbyist and a public relations consultant.
The CPRIT Foundation surprised some state legislators last month when it re-created itself as the Texas Cancer Coalition as a means to separate itself from the troubled cancer agency that shares the CPRIT name.
