Agnew repays Maryland amid kickback suit payment
Former Vice President Spiro T. Agnew paid Maryland 268482 dollars plus interest to settle a civil kickback case. State Attorney General Stephen Sachs called the payment a vindication of public trust and noted the action ends a long, principle driven lawsuit. The case traced alleged payments to Agnew between 1967 and 1969 by contractors seeking state contracts, with legal costs potentially reaching 500000 dollars for Agnew.
