"                      <p class=\"imgtitle\">Fucillo</p>           CHARLESTON - Two of the state Department of Health and Human Resources' top lawyers might be suing the agency, according to a report earlier this week.<br /><br />The <a href=\"http://dailymail.com/News/201208260149\" class=\"copy\">Charleston Daily Mail</a> reported Monday that the two lawyers -- deputy secretary for legal affairs Susan Perry and general counsel Jennifer Taylor -- along with assistant secretary John Law, have been on paid leave since the middle of July.<br /><br />The three reportedly questioned the agency's decision to award Ohio-based Fahlgren Mortine a marketing and advertising contract worth nearly $480,000.<br /><br />According to the Daily Mail, the State selected the Fahlgren Mortine over three lower bidders.<br /><br />The newspaper reported that last week a lawyer for Perry and Taylor sent Robert Fucillo, the DHHR's acting secretary, a \"litigation hold request.\"<br /><br />Fucillo placed Perry, Taylor and Law on paid leave. The acting secretary -- who previously served as the agency's deputy secretary and general counsel, and represented the DHHR as an assistant attorney general -- has not said why.<br /><br />The request, sent Friday, asked the agency to preserve documents in the matter -- most likely to be used in a future legal action, according to the Daily Mail."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
