Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2025 report certifies 390,072.48 received since the distribution commenced in 2022, interest included.
That is the 137,492.81 the FY2024 report certified plus the 247,479.76 received and 5,099.91 of interest the FY2025 report certifies for 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025, to the cent. The same report certifies 25,000.00 expended and 35,000.00 encumbered for the year. It then certifies 797,597.45 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand. That is 407,524.97 more than the Township says it has ever received. It is also 215,934.91 more than the 581,662.54 the FY2026 report certifies as received through 06/30/2026. A balance cannot exceed every dollar received. No ledger has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 123,500.00 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026.
It lists five programs funded that year, Supporting Vision and Recovery in Orange at 7,500.00, Moment of Silence at 366.25, Orange Community Outreach and Harm Reduction Initiative at 52,500.00, Narcan Training at 4,500.00 and Stronger Together Caregivers Workshop at 6,500.00. Each block reports its full funding spent and 0.00 appropriated or encumbered. The report carries no update block for any earlier program. Nothing in the report stands behind the 123,500.00. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 93,659.00 spent for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 and, separately, 26,792.32 of administrative expenses, which it describes as part of the salary of the staff member who manages the funds.
Its five program blocks report 7,500.00, 366.25, 52,500.00, 4,500.00 and 6,500.00 spent, 71,366.25 in all. That is 22,292.75 less than the certified total. Adding the administrative figure gives 98,158.57, which is 4,499.57 more than the certified total. Neither reading makes the report agree with itself. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 581,662.54 received since 2022 and 31,926.07 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand.
The four reports certify 0.00 spent in FY2023, 50,000.00 in FY2024, 25,000.00 in FY2025 and 93,659.00 in FY2026, 168,659.00 in all. The FY2026 report certifies 123,500.00 encumbered. Those figures leave 289,503.54. Subtracting as well the 26,792.32 of FY2026 administrative expenses and the 35,000.00 the FY2025 report certified as encumbered leaves 227,711.22. The certified balance is 195,785.15 below even that figure, and the report accounts for none of the difference. The FY2025 report had certified 797,597.45 on hand. No ledger has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2023 report certifies 58,341.52 received as of 06/30/2023 and 0.00 expended.
The FY2024 report certifies 137,492.81 received since 2022, which is the FY2023 figure plus 78,604.78 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 and 546.51 of interest, to the cent. It certifies 50,000.00 expended on the Orange Opioids Prevention Program and 0.00 encumbered. That leaves at most 87,492.81. The report certifies 137,370.95 unspent and uncommitted on hand, 121.86 less than everything received. The certified balance is 49,878.14 more than the Township's own figures allow. No ledger has been produced.

Correct the recordCan 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
