AG to defend state in lawsuit by tobacco companies

Three major tobacco companies have filed a lawsuit against the state contending that the health impact fee violates its multi-billion dollar settlement that it reached with the state. Hatch says that the fee does not violate the agreement because it only applies to future claims made against the companies not any fees or taxes that the legislature may impose. A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 29 in Ramsey County District Court.
