In the long tradition of public trust placed in the office of attorney general, a question has emerged in New York about whether the state's most powerful law enforcement post has quietly abandoned one of its oldest obligations. Saritha Komatireddy, a Republican candidate with deep federal prosecution experience, argues that Medicaid fraud recoveries have collapsed by 82 percent under incumbent Letitia James — from $168 million to $31 million — leaving billions in stolen public funds unpursued and ordinary taxpayers bearing the cost.
