CARSON CITY, Nev. — The lieutenant governor of Nevada says the state attorney general's office intends to have him indicted over how he handled a college savings program as state treasurer.

Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki said Monday he believes he is being targeted for political reasons by state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto.

Krolicki is a Republican who's considering a run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Masto is a Democrat. She says she cannot comment.
