Tobacco Money States Federal split under tobacco settlement
The Clinton administration and state governments must decide how to use the 206 billion settlement with four major tobacco companies. West Virginia would receive 1.7 billion over 25 years, with 70 million annually thereafter, for Medicaid costs. Federal funds may claim a portion, and Congress must pass a law to allow full use by states for projects like tobacco control.
