Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Programs in Oldham and Henry Counties
Attorney General Jack Conway took his Keep Kentucky Kids Safe program to Oldham and Henry counties, alerting hundreds of students to the dangers of abusing prescription pills.
"This is a matter of life and death," said General Conway. "I want Kentucky kids to know that it is never okay to take a pill that is not prescribed to them. These are some of the most dangerous and addictive substances on the planet. They will take your appetite, your mind and eventually your life."
Nearly 700 students attended the awareness and prevention programs at North Oldham and Henry County high schools. General Conway launched the Keep Kentucky Kids Safe initiative in 2010 with the Kentucky Justice Cabinet and its Office of Drug Control Policy, Kentucky Pharmacists Association, National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators (NADDI), Operation UNITE and Dr. Karen Shay and Lynn Kissick, two mothers who lost their daughters to prescription drug overdoses. | More information
Consumer Protection Alert
Agreement with Student Loan Xpress, Inc.
Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway announced an agreement with Student Loan Xpress, Inc. (SLX) that will result in an estimated $3.6 million reduction in the loan obligations for students who attended a now bankrupt West Kentucky law school.
"I am pleased we were able to conclude this investigation by getting significant loan forgiveness for students," General Conway said. "As we investigated this case over many months, we found dozens of students who were obligated to pay thousands of dollars in student loans for academic credits that didn't transfer. The lender also charged fees when it said it would not and required loan repayment when students were entitled to deferments because they were still in school. There was an overall pattern of abuse by the lender that ignored federal and state consumer protection requirements and put students in a financial bind before they even started their careers." | More information
