The FY2025 report, page 1, certifies 185,791.16 received since the distribution began in 2022.
It certifies 28,000.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 administrative between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025. The earlier reports certify 0.00 expended in FY2023 and 8,966.00 in FY2024. Received less everything ever spent is 148,825.16. The report certifies 0.00 unspent and uncommitted on hand. The FY2026 report, pages 1 and 2, certifies 221,484.23 received since 2022, 24,000.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 11,693.07 on hand. Its own figures leave 160,518.23. The certified balance is the year's receipts of 35,693.07 less the year's 24,000.00, to the cent. Both reports leave out the same 148,825.16. No report says it was spent or committed. No ledger has been produced to show where it is.
unspent-misstated · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report, page 1, certifies 8,966.00 expended and 16,000.00 appropriated or encumbered between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024.
Pages 4 and 5 list A Community Mental Health and Wellness Symposium Opioid Overdose Awareness Education, a one time only program launched 04/10/2024 and funded 05/20/2024. The block reports 2,000.00 of funding, 966.00 expended and 966.00 encumbered or appropriated. The only other program, ICCDAA treatment and counseling on page 3, reports 8,000.00 expended and 16,000.00 encumbered. The program blocks total 8,966.00 expended, which matches page 1, and 16,966.00 encumbered, which is 966.00 above page 1. The same 966.00 for a one time event that had already been held cannot be both spent and still committed. 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
