Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2024 report certifies 17,136.75 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024.
It certifies 0.00 spent on program administrative expenses, and its answer on administrative details reads "did not spend any." The Harrison East Newark Drop-In Center block of the same report (p4) says 11,111.75 was spent on the drop-in center and that 759.00 "also went towards the Municipal Alliance Coordinator's salary, as she spends time managing and helping with all the programs." The certified 17,136.75 is BABES 3,506.00, the drop-in center 11,111.75, the coordinator salary 759.00 and Strengthening Families Academy 1,760.00, to the cent. The report counts 759.00 of salary for managing every program as spending and certifies that no administrative cost was spent. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 1 document · 10/03/2026The FY2026 report certifies 429,041.67 received since 2022 with 0.00 of interest.
That is the 86,583.22 the FY2023 report certifies through 06/30/2023 plus 172,719.16 for FY2024, 101,165.88 for FY2025 and 68,573.41 for FY2026, to the cent. The four reports certify 461.00, 17,136.75, 17,737.83 and 11,893.31 expended, 47,228.89 in all. The FY2026 report certifies 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 administrative. The Town's own figures leave 381,812.78 on hand. The FY2026 report certifies 381,810.78, which is 2.00 less. The FY2025 report had certified 1,403.80 encumbered and 323,728.88 on hand. Whether that 1,403.80 was later spent or released, the figures give 381,812.78. If it is still committed, they give 380,408.98. The printed balance matches neither, and no report accounts for the 1,403.80. 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
