Public Meetings On 3M Settlement Scheduled For Tuesday Evening

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- If you would like to know more about the settlement between the State of Minnesota and 3M, there is going to be a public meeting Tuesday night.

In February, the state settled its lawsuit against 3M for $850 million.

Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson sued 3M in 2010 alleging that the company's production of PFCs damaged drinking water and natural resources in the southeast metro.
