Tobacco companies settle a landmark suit with the State of Minnesota and insurance provider Blue Cross and Blue Shield for a total of 6.5 billion dollars. Along with companies in Mississippi, Texas, and Florida, Minnesota firms lead the charge in taking on the previously ironclad Big Tobacco legal teams through organized class-action suits.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
