Cuyahoga County counsel Hunter Shkolnik said of AGs who attempt to cut the MDL plaintiffs out of settlement negotiations, “They are acting like pirates, coming in to take the spoils of the hard work we’ve done. To step in now and say, ‘We’re going to pass laws to take over the
case,’ or ‘We’re going to the appellate courts to take over the case,’ smacks of a power grab.”
