Attorney General Charlie Crist announced Thursday that checks are being mailed to more than 800 eligible Floridians beginning this week as part of a settlement agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb for unlawfully monopolizing the manufacture and sale of the anti-cancer drug Taxol and its generic form paclitaxel.
