A satirical look at the 1998 tobacco settlement and the legal battle over directing settlement funds. The piece mocks how states spend the money on highways and lawyers’ fees while suggesting new lawsuits aim to shift billions to smokers, framed with sharp, partisan humor.
Moon rising for pottery partners in downtown Aiken
