Feds States Clash Over Tobacco Settlement Cash
Washington and state governments clash over how the tobacco settlement funds should be spent. The Clinton administration pushes for public health uses while states push for school funding and tax cuts.

The administration argues the federal government has a right to part of the money due to Medicaid cost recovery.
