Inadequate Agent Orange settlement draws veteran critique
Charleston AP reports a tentative $180 million Agent Orange settlement approved by U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein faces criticism from veterans leader Lee Hunnicutt. He argues the deal lacks commitment to long term research into dioxin effects on veterans and the broader 1 million service members exposed. The judge still must craft a distribution plan and may reject the settlement without a satisfactory framework.
