Findings

1 finding.

Every finding is verified to the documents in its own row. An inference is labelled as one.

Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.

01

The FY2024 report certifies 23,736.90 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, 0.00 of interest and 25,431.10 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1, questions 1 to 3).

It certifies 0.00 expended and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered in the period, 0.00 spent on administration and no transfer to the county (p1, questions 4 to 8). It answers No when asked whether the Borough funded any programs (p2, question 16). It certifies 31,452.12 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (p1, question 9). That is 6,021.02 more than everything the same report says the Borough ever received. The 25,431.10 is the FY2023 report's 1,694.20 received as of 06/30/2023 plus the year's 23,736.90, to the cent. The FY2023 report certifies 0.00 expended. The Borough's grant line G-02-41-779-000, printed 05/28/2026, shows 0.00 expended and 0.00 encumbered from 01/01/2022 to 05/28/2026, with no transaction line (pp1 to 2). Money that was never spent cannot be on hand at more than the total ever received. The FY2025 report certifies 37,018.00 received since 2022 and 37,018.00 on hand, so the next year's figures agree with each other and the 31,452.12 matches neither year's receipts.

Frequently asked questions

Can opioid settlement money be spent on police cars or license plate readers?

No. Exhibit E of the national settlement lists the approved uses: treatment, recovery, prevention, harm reduction and related supports. Vehicles and surveillance hardware are not among the uses it lists, and state law bars using the funds to replace money a town would otherwise have spent.The approved uses

What did Hillsdale tell the State it spent the money on?

No certified program is published for this jurisdiction yet. When a report is captured, each program appears here beside the payments in the account.See the reports

How was this grade computed?

By code, from a published rubric: reporting integrity 50 percent, spending conformity 40 percent, transparency 10 percent, with hard caps for a certified program that has no payee in the books, for an uncertified transfer out, and for a records refusal.The rubric
