The FY2024 report certifies 15,326.13 received since the distribution commenced in 2022 and 0.00 of interest (p1, questions 2 and 3).
That is the 11,876.30 the FY2023 report certifies as received through 06/30/2023 plus 3,449.83 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, to the cent. The report certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 of administrative expense. It certifies 15,386.13 unspent and uncommitted on hand (p1, question 9). That is 60.00 more than every dollar the Township says it ever received. The FY2025 report carries the fund forward from 15,326.13, not 15,386.13. It certifies 2,640.63 received in FY2025, 0.00 spent, and 17,966.76 both received since 2022 and on hand. No ledger of the Township's settlement account has been produced.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report asks whether the Township engaged the public before deciding how to use the funds it received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024.
It answers "Yes, for one year funding" (p2, question 12). The next question asks the Township to describe that public engagement. It answers "No, but plan to in the future" (p2, question 13). The FY2025 report gives the same two answers for 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025 (p2, questions 12 and 13). Both reports also certify 0.00 expended and answer No to funding any program, so there was no use of the funds for the public to weigh in on. The FY2023 report answered "No, but plan to in the future" to the same question.
self-contradiction · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The Township's first three reports certify no spending of its opioid settlement money.
The FY2023 report certifies 11,876.30 received and 0.00 expended as of 06/30/2023. The FY2024 report certifies 15,326.13 received since 2022 and 0.00 expended, encumbered or spent on administration. The FY2025 report certifies 17,966.76 received since 2022 and again 0.00 expended, encumbered or spent on administration, with 17,966.76 on hand. Each report states the same goals, including the purchase of overdose prevention drugs and training for police officers, EMS and social workers. None lists a program. The State's FY2026 page for the Township, published 10/01/2026, reads "No Report Received." The Township has produced no ledger, so none of these figures can be tested against the books.

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
