Smoking prevention funds pulled to pay for jobs program

Posted by db — last modified April 17, 2008

Governor Strickland pulls nearly all remaining monies from the tobacco companies' settlement away from tobacco cessation and prevention programs to fund a jobs development program. Prevention programs respond and take the governor to court. See the detailed article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, dated April 14, 2008.

Many of these funds help support programs and jobs throughout Cuyahoga County.
