After being invited by Florida's Broward County Assistant State Attorney Timothy Donnelly, Kentucky Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo will testify by phone before a Florida circuit court grand jury Wednesday about Kentuckians who travel to Florida pain clinics to obtain prescriptions for drugs they transport back to Kentucky to either abuse, misuse or illegally sale within the state. Mongiardo will offer his opinion, both as a doctor and a Lt. Governor, on the effect the prescription drug monitoring system, which was signed into law this summer, has had on the activity between the two states.
