Attorney General Troy King has been bragging about lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies, so I'll be interested to hear what he has to say, if anything, now that the almost 100% Republican Alabama Supreme Court has thrown out the judgement in favor of the state and against those firms. I hope nobody in Alabama State Government planned on using that $274-Million as part of the General Fund budget! The suits claimed the companies had defrauded the state in pricing drugs provided for the Medicaid program.
And I wonder how those 16 companies that settled with the state for $124-Million feel now?
It was an 8-1 vote, and no, it was not the lone Democrat...Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb...who cast the only dissenting vote. It was Justice Tom Parker, the former Roy Moore confederate.
Tim don't be so negative. I am glad that our AG filed this suit. The fact that the supreme court disagreed with him really means litte. I mean there are many others that have met such a fate in fighting a battle for the tax payers. Riley, Don S., Pryor, James, Folson, Windom heck almost every major elected official has lost atleast one major battle because of the supremes. Seem like a badge of honor but it's not always about winning, sometimes you need to fight the fight just to have a chance to win. I applaud our AG for doing this. I just wish you would lighten up a big. You have become awfully negative since leaving TV.
