Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2024 report certifies 785,365.82 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, 16,229.67 of interest accrued since 2022 and 1,195,295.30 received since 2022 (page 1).
It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 of administrative expenses, and no transfer to the county. The FY2023 report certifies 0.00 expended and 0.00 administrative. On the reports' own figures the County held 1,195,295.30. The FY2024 report certifies 1,179,065.63 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (page 1). That is 16,229.67 lower, the interest the same page reports, and nothing was spent to account for it. No ledger has been produced.
self-contradiction · 2 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 1,195,295.30 received since 2022.
That is the 393,699.81 certified through 06/30/2023, the 785,365.82 received in FY2024 and 16,229.67 of interest. The FY2025 report certifies 460,008.16 received and 0.00 of interest for the year. Its Q3 asks for the total received since 2022 including interest and answers 1,639,073.79 (page 1). Carrying the FY2024 total forward gives 1,655,303.46. The certified figure is 16,229.67 lower, the FY2024 interest exactly. The FY2026 report certifies 2,074,303.13, which is the FY2025 figure plus the 435,229.34 received in FY2026, so the 16,229.67 stays out. 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
