The AP version is here. A snip:
The first-term lieutenant governor said Tuesday there’s no basis for the indictment. He says he was targeted for political reasons by Masto — and that Reid was involved. Both Masto and Reid are Democrats. A spokesman for Reid has denied any role in Masto’s move against Krolicki.
The indictments were based in part on a 2007 audit that found budget controls were bypassed in the $3.7 billion Nevada College Savings Program. Krolicki has disputed the report’s findings, saying auditors were “simply wrong.”
Krolicki disclosed late last month that he was told by Masto’s office that an indictment would be sought. Masto said at that point that she couldn’t comment. Her notice to Krolicki cited a law making it a felony for any misappropriation or falsification of government accounts by a public officer.
