One guy said:

Wisconsin is doing other states one better: They sold their future shares for a one-time lump sum payment, and they're planning to use every penny of it on a one-time budget saving plan. The whole freakin' thing! Is that delicious or what?

"Communities aren't getting their needs met and kids might be trying to stop smoking and not be able to find a program to help them quit," said Ann Houston, field director for public education and communication for the North Carolina Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch. "It's a tragic situation that so many really good programs are suffering right now."

I for one am tickled pink about ths situation.

Everyone, but particularly the antis, forget the purpose of the MSA to begin with. The purpose of it was to REIMBURSE the states for the allegeded extra helath care costs that had been expended on smokers. The rationale being had these funds would have been spent elsewhere had they not been spent on smoking related health care. That is why the states all sued to begin with.

The antis shouldn't be getting a penny of this money There is a large portion of it funding the American Legacy Foundation, the sole purpose of which is anti-smoker propaganda.

I love seeing weasels whine!!!!!
