Abstract

"News" piece on the Fund for a Healthy Maine, which was set up with part of this year's $55 million share of the federal tobacco settlement. The 120th Legislature cut the fund's programs by about 15 percent, diverting money to other uses. Maine will receive a similar amount each year, based on a number of factors including inflation and the volume of smoking nationally, and some are concerned that every-increasing amounts will be used for purposes other than those originally intended.
