Attorney general speaks to Rotary

Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel told the Magnolia Rotary Club on Thursday that his office has been extremely busy this year as he and his staff took on pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, worked to promote Census 2010 and kept watch over Arkansas’ participation in the tobacco settlement. McDaniel, who is currently running unopposed for re-election, said the suit against Eli Lilly alleged that the company was “pushing drugs on kids that cause serious problems and cost the taxpayers millions.” “Eli Lilly is an excellent company, but in this case, they got a little greedy,” McDaniel said.
