Under fire, Jack Stick resigns from the Health and Human Services Commission

Resignation comes after Statesman investigation of state contracts

Multiple news outlets are reporting this Friday afternoon that Jack Stick has resigned as Chief Counsel for the HHSC. From the Austin American-Statesman:

“The top lawyer for the state’s sprawling health agency has resigned amid questions raised by an American-Statesman investigation into his relationship with an Austin technology company to which he was steering $110 million in no-bid contracts. Jack Stick, chief counsel for the Health and Human Services Commission, tendered his resignation to Kyle Janek, executive commissioner of the agency, said agency spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman.

Janek has canceled the state’s contract with 21CT, the data analytics firm to which Stick had directed business along with other officials, Goodman said. The state contracted 21CT to overhaul its efforts to use complicated and messy Medicaid data to root out Medicaid fraud, waste and abuse.”
