Tobacco Case |
The challenge is to a $4.6 billion settlement in 1998 to recover taxpayers'
money spent on public health plans. The yearly payments are
not going into the state treasury but to 3 political appointee
"Trust" funds. Tobacco growers and allotment holders in
a separate 1999 settlement are getting $1.9 billion in yearly
payments. In addition, allotment owners are seeking an $8
billion federal "buyout." Latta, Et Al. v. State.
