Findings

3 findings.

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 FY2023 report certifies 23,236.55 received as of 06/30/2023 (p1, question 7).

That is the figure the Township entered in its 2023 adopted budget on 05/20/2023 (budget detail p1, revenue detail p1). The revenue account G-02-10-879-000 shows no cash before 08/25/2023. The FY2024 report certifies 119,155.72 received from 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024 (p1, question 1). That is every receipt on the revenue account from 08/25/2023 to 06/24/2024, to the cent. It includes three receipts posted 08/25/2023 for settlement payments labeled 01/03/2023, 01/31/2023 and 06/16/2023, 24,309.41 in all. The FY2024 report then adds the FY2023 figure on top and certifies 142,392.27 received since 2022 (p1, question 3). The FY2025 report certifies 157,642.71 on hand (p1, question 9). That is the 157,348.47 the revenue account received through 06/30/2025 plus the 294.24 interest the report certifies. The FY2026 report certifies 55,016.11 received, 1,490.94 interest and 0.00 spent (p1). It certifies 237,386.31 on hand (p2, question 9). That is 157,642.71 plus 55,016.11 plus 1,490.94 plus 23,236.55. On hand rose 79,743.60 in a year the report says brought in 56,507.05 and spent nothing. Both on hand figures cannot be true. The 23,236.55 difference is the 2023 budget figure, whose money is already in the cash. The revenue account shows 210,178.29 received in all through 06/04/2026.

The FY2024 report certifies 119,155.72 received from 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024, 0.00 interest and 0.00 spent (p1, questions 1, 2 and 6).

The FY2023 report certifies 0.00 spent as of 06/30/2023 (p1, question 8). The FY2024 report then certifies 142,392.27 received since 2022 and 142,392.27 on hand (p1, questions 3 and 9). The revenue account G-02-10-879-000 shows eight receipts from 08/25/2023 to 06/24/2024 totaling 119,155.72, and no cash before 08/25/2023 (Revenue Detail Inquiry pp1-2). The appropriation line G-02-41-879-000-000 shows no payment out. With nothing spent, the money on hand at 06/30/2024 could not exceed the 119,155.72 received. The report certifies 23,236.55 more. That is the figure the Township entered in its 2023 adopted budget on 05/20/2023 (budget detail p1), which the FY2023 report certified as received. Its cash is already inside the 119,155.72.

03

The FY2025 report certifies 180,879.26 received since 2022, interest included (p1, question 3).

The same page certifies 0.00 spent from 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025 and 157,642.71 on hand (p1, questions 6 and 9). The FY2023 and FY2024 reports each certify 0.00 spent. A Township that spent nothing cannot have received 180,879.26 and hold 157,642.71. The report contradicts itself by 23,236.55. The books side with the on hand figure. The revenue account G-02-10-879-000 shows 157,348.47 received through 06/30/2025, the last deposit on 10/24/2024 (Revenue Detail Inquiry p2). Add the 294.24 interest the report certifies and the total is 157,642.71. The appropriation line shows no payment out. The 23,236.55 in the received figure is the 2023 adopted budget entry of 05/20/2023, counted again.

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 Medford Township 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
