Obviously the money did fill the greedy politician coffers. They were greedy and wanted this money, now they are not using it for what it should be used for. Instead they are porking it up.
Do you know for a fact the money is not being used for both covering health care costs and the fiber project?
I would understand if the sick, dying kids at the hospital from second hand smoking are being told they're to stay there and left to die 'cause there's no money to help them recuperate.
The fiber project is being covered with tobacco settlement money correct? Then it is not going towards tobacco healthcare costs. If the healthcare costs were not that high they should have socked the money away for future healthcare costs, or of course they could control their own fiscal spending and not use the tobacco money as a personal ATM.
