OK, So That Time I Wrote About CVS Getting Fined For Something Once A Month? That Was Supposed To Be A Joke.

Tough thing about being a jokester though, is that real life often robs you of your material:


VENTURA, Calif. (KABC) -- CVS Pharmacy has agreed to pay nearly $14 million to settle claims that it illegally disposed of hazardous waste at many of its California stores. 
A Ventura County judge approved the settlement on Wednesday. Two years ago, allegations surfaced that CVS improperly disposed of medical, pharmaceutical and photographic waste over a seven-year period. 
Fire and environmental health departments in 45 cities and counties in California will share the money from the $13.75 million settlement.

What could they possibly have on tap for May? Stay tuned to find out.

Thanks to the alert reader who tipped me to the story.

    Do not worry. The Florida fight with the DEA will be ruled on in June. You won't be disappointed.
