The Settlement doesn't settle much in the way of morality, but it has its moments of glee. It was right on target in offering up a tasty serving of black humor. It has these vulture-driven insurance schemers say to one of their ailing clients: "To a very special lady, may God be with her and strike her dead." The film had enough bite in its humor to make the story be adequate for all its budget restraints it was under and its lack of a deeper script. Those who like indy films that are a little offbeat should enjoy this one, especially if they are understanding of its limitations.

The settlement includes language that lets FirstEnergy and GPU collect some, or all, of the difference between the costs of buying power and what it can charge it’s customers. This increase will be hidden from ratepayers because it will be collected through the “transition” charge on their bills. The actual “stranded costs”, supposed to be collected through the transition charge, will be deferred and collected from ratepayers beginning in 2010.

Attorney General Lawrence Wasden entered into a settlement with Guidant Corporation that will provide more than one million dollars in compensation for consumers to redress purchases of Guidant’s “unmodified” Ventak Prizm 2 DR Model 1861 implanted heart defibrillator. This defibrillator has a wiring problem that could cause the unit to short circuit and not function properly. While the wiring problems were corrected in 2002, Guidant continued to sell unmodified units in 2002 and 2003 and did not tell doctors and the public about this until 2005.
