NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Republican donor Andy Miller Jr., who has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Tennessee candidates for state and federal offices, is moving to Kansas.
WSMV-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2ifn0cn ) that Miller announced on his Facebook page that he was relocating to a 1,000 acre property in Comanche County, Kansas. In Miller's words in a Facebook comment: "Being a Rancher is more my style."
Miller and his company Healthmark Investment Trust last year agreed to pay $7.8 million to settle federal allegations that another one of their companies defrauded the military health care program Tricare.
A lawsuit filed by former executives claims Miller caused cash flow problems at another company called Life Watch Pharmacy by hiring political allies, friends and family to work do-nothing jobs. Miller's attorney has called those claims "baseless."
