Summary:Likewise, his criticism of the efforts of state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer (his Democratic primary rival for governor) to combat Medicaid's problems is ill-informed: The attorney general's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has been a powerful and innovative force in stopping abuse of both the system and frail nursing home residents. As Suozzi should know, it is not the attorney general's job to reform Medicaid. Scott Christianson has presented the history of Martin Tankleff's murder case in such an accurate and logical manner that it makes me wonder why someone like New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer does not investigate what is going on in Suffolk County ["Tankleff case cries out for answers," Opinion, April 21].
