Kept funding its drug and alcohol program after settlement

The County kept funding its own drug and alcohol program when settlement money arrived, and it did not move that program's providers onto the settlement account. The modified appropriation on the state Alcohol and Drug Abuse line ran 900,310.00 in 2022, 817,588.00 in 2023, 731,279.00 in 2024, 633,048.00 in 2025 and 707,946.00 in 2026. Regular Pay on that line was 157,165.00 in 2022 and 2023, 169,322.00 in 2024, 160,222.00 in 2025 and 228,960.00 in 2026. The County put in its own matching funds every year, 75,383.00 in 2024, 73,915.00 in 2025 and 113,980.00 in 2026. The five substance use treatment providers the County has funded since 2018 have never been paid one dollar from the settlement account. Their vendor payment histories are published here and every line in them sits on the state grant series or on an unrelated county program grant. This is the control case for the entity and it is stated here because it cuts against the County.
