Ohio Attorney General Thwarts Pressure Sy~ tin
to Join Tobacco Litigation Bandwagon
Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery has decided thal~tf3(Il`r~
the cost of buying a ticket in the health-care litigation
lottery isn't worth the potential gain.
Bucking the recent trend, Montgomery announced she will
not take legal action to recoup money the state has spent to
care for people with illnesses alleged to be smoking related.
"Without a single court decision indicating these
lawsuits can be won," Ms. Montgomery said, "I will not now
ask Ohioans to risk the millions of tax dollars required and
divert attention from the priorities of this office to take
on the tobacco industry."
While acknowledging that suing tobacco companies is
politically popular, Ms. Montgomery said she opposed
following other states that have hired private attorneys to
litigate their cases.
