What is Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge up to?

Hiring a New York Yankee (not baseball) by the name of Lee Rudofsky as Arkansas Solicitor General. By the way, no qualified Arkansans?

AG Rutledge, with this hire, stated “My commitment to make the AG’s office the top law firm in the state”. What does this statement mean? She is comparing a citizen subsidized state protection racket for politicians who employ 70-80 or more attorneys while apparently equating it to private sector law firms?

Back to Rudofsky: Rudofsky has been assistant general counsel for Wal-Mart. He received a BS and a Masters of Public Administration from Cornell and a law degree from Harvard. He also spent years in DC, general counsel for a CA candidate for governor, and likewise, for presidential candidate Romney.

With his impressive academic and political credentials from Ivy League schools and years of slumming with DC politicians, why did he leave Wal-Mart and more to the point why did he accept the position with the AR AG for $120,000 per year with his formidable background?

There is something smelly here!!

So AG Rutledge what’s the deal?
