The Fall of the House of Zeus by Curtis Wilkie (Crown, October 19, 2010)
“As they plotted into 1994, word of the plan to use Mississippi’s Medicaid program as the fulcrum for their [tobacco] lawsuit spread among politicians in the state, and it did not meet unanimous approval.” (page 52)
[Charlie Capps, legislator for Bolivar County]: “The state is not going to pay for a single pencil.”
[Mike Moore, Attorney General]: “You see how much help we’re going to get from the state.”
“Scruggs called P. L. Blake and told him, ‘We don’t want a rear-guard attack by this group.’ He promised to pay Blake ‘to keep his eyes and ears open.’
“For good measure, Scruggs called Steve Patterson . . . Scruggs wanted Patterson to stay on top of things, to serve as a back channel, passing on information quietly.” (page 53)
