On 01/16/2025 the County paid The Keefe Law Firm 207,383.37 on check 00352470 and charged it to the opioid settlement abatement account 232100S149-5E07001.
The ledger calls it Legal Consulting. The firm's invoice of 12/02/2024 shows what it is. It states that Middlesex has received 2,151,196.53 since the last payment on 11/2/2023, that per the retainer agreement the firm receives 10 percent, 215,119.65, and that the firm already received 7,736.28 in backstop payments, leaving 207,383.37. The County's engagement letter with the firm sets the fee at 10 percent on all payments as they are received over the life of the settlement. This is a contingency fee for suing the opioid companies, taken out of the money the settlements pay the County to abate the crisis. The FY2025 report to the State does not name the fee. MOA Section E(6) says payments to counsel for local governments on the Distributor and Johnson and Johnson settlements shall be made from the Supplemental Contingent Fee Fund, not the abatement allocation. The voucher, dated 12/23/2024, cites Resolution 24-43-R, which awarded the 2024 counsel contract to a different firm, Wilentz, Goldman and Spitzer. Resolution 25-40-R, which awarded the 2025 counsel contract to The Keefe Law Firm, was adopted on 01/16/2025, the day the check was issued. The retainer runs over the life of the settlement. No later payment to the firm appears in the vendor history the County produced in September 2026.
non-conforming-spending · 9 documents · 09/23/2026Two opioid litigation fees sit on the County's abatement account 232100S149-5E07001.
The 164,638.00 Wilentz, Goldman and Spitzer fee was posted there by journal JV08212 on 11/30/2023, inside the FY2024 reporting year. The 207,383.37 Keefe Law Firm fee was paid on 01/16/2025, inside the FY2025 reporting year. Together they total 372,021.37. Neither report to the State names either firm or any legal, counsel or litigation cost, and neither amount is in any program the County certified. Both reports answer the administrative expense question with 0.00. The FY2024 program figures add up to 214,116.77 and the FY2025 program figures to 249,698.25, and neither total includes a fee.
undisclosed-spending · 4 documents · 09/23/2026Wilentz, Goldman and Spitzer billed the County on 11/02/2023 for professional services to Middlesex County Opioids.
The invoice lists a percentage to date of 1,125,000.00 and fees of 164,638.00. The cover letter calls it the opioid fee based upon a reduced percentage of recovery to date. The County's vendor history shows the fee paid on check 00334508 on 11/09/2023, replacing a reversed check of 11/02/2023, and charged to object 12300000-2120113, Trial Balance 23 Opioid Settle, where the settlement money was held. On 11/30/2023 journal JV08212, described as To Correct Payment, posted the same 164,638.00 to the abatement account 232100S149-5E07001, where it now reads as an abatement expenditure. The same day journal JV08213 credited the settlement reserve 2149623 with 1,241,353.10. That figure less the fee is 1,076,715.10, the balance the County's inquiry screen prints for object 2120113. The County produced the inquiry screen instead of the journal voucher, so the second side of JV08212 is not in the record. The Keefe Law Firm invoice of 12/02/2024 bills its percentage on money received since 11/2/2023, the date of this invoice. The FY2024 report to the State does not name the fee. MOA Section E(6) says payments to counsel for local governments on the Distributor and Johnson and Johnson settlements shall be made from the Supplemental Contingent Fee Fund, not the abatement allocation.
non-conforming-spending · 6 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2026 report certifies 367,493.05 appropriated or encumbered and not yet spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p2).
That is exactly the 745,501.05 the same report certifies received in the year less the 378,008.00 it certifies spent (p1). The County's Detail Activity Report for its settlement lines, printed 06/18/2026, shows 662,670.53 encumbered, 8,903.41 on 232100S149 and 653,767.12 on 252100S149, against a budget of 2,889,240.00. The open orders are 295,177.48 more than the certified figure, twelve days before the year closed. No appropriation of 367,493.05 appears in the record either. The open orders include purchase order P214599 for 88,362.47, described as Vehicles, Including Automobile, encumbered 05/27/2026 on the new Replenish line 252100S149-5E03439. No program in the FY2026 report describes a vehicle. The certified figure is arithmetic on the report's own lines, not a figure from the County's books.
misreported-encumbrance · 3 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report certifies 214,116.77 expended from 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024.
The County's Detail Activity Report for 2024 prints that exact figure as the running balance of its grant reserve object 232100S149-2110223 after September 2024, three months after the reporting year closed. At 06/30/2024 the same balance was 143,733.32. The difference, 70,383.45, is two kiosk staffing checks of 07/02/2024 and 09/19/2024 and supplies paid 09/19/2024, all inside FY2025. The program figures follow the same cutoff. Kiosk staffing is certified at 131,253.65, the four checks through 09/19/2024. Go Bags is certified at 7,863.12, supplies through 09/19/2024.
misreported-expenditure · 3 documents · 09/23/2026Over FY2024 and FY2025 the County certified 463,815.02 of program spending, 214,116.77 and 249,698.25.
Its Detail Activity Reports show every charge to the grant reserve from 01/01/2024 through 06/30/2025, 510,891.20. Taking out the 207,383.37 litigation fee, which no report includes, leaves 303,507.83 of program spending. The certified figures exceed that by 160,307.19, and the difference is made of five pieces. The Blue Cares payment of 75,000.00, certified in both years. Two kiosk staffing checks of 08/21/2025 and 10/06/2025, 65,626.81, paid after 06/30/2025. Go Bag supplies of 7,863.12, certified in both years. The 10,576.00 Contractor Compliance Monitoring Fund payment, certified twice in FY2025. Supplies of 1,241.26 paid 07/17/2025, after the year closed.
certified-above-actual · 5 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies 32,868.60 expended on MOSAIC Go Bags from 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025.
The County's Detail Activity Reports show 512,132.46 charged to its grant reserve from 01/01/2024 through 07/31/2025. Taking out the kiosk staffing checks through that date, 196,880.49, the litigation fee, 207,383.37, and the Blue Cares payment, 75,000.00, leaves 32,868.60 to the cent. Line by line it is every supply purchase from 06/20/2024 through 07/17/2025, 22,292.60, plus the 10,576.00 Contractor Compliance Monitoring Fund payment of 10/01/2024. It includes 7,863.12 already certified as Go Bags in FY2024, 1,241.26 paid after the year closed, and the 10,576.00 the same report certifies again as Healthcare Kiosks.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies 131,253.65 paid to the New Jersey Harm Reduction Coalition from 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025.
That is the full value of purchase order P206187, all four of its checks. Two of them, 32,813.42 on 08/21/2025 and 32,813.39 on 10/06/2025, were paid after the reporting year closed. The 10/06/2025 check was written after the report's last updated date of 08/27/2025. The FY2024 report did the same with purchase order P200325, certifying its checks of 07/02/2024 and 09/19/2024. Through FY2025 the County certified 262,507.30 to this vendor, every check on both purchase orders. The checks the County wrote inside those two reporting years total 196,880.49.
misreported-expenditure · 5 documents · 09/23/2026The County charged 75,000.00 to the Prosecutor's opioid settlement line on 06/06/2024, invoice number 1 for Narcan and the Blue Cares call center.
The FY2024 report certifies it as Blue Cares spending. The FY2025 report certifies Blue Cares at 75,000.00 again, expended in this reporting period, 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025. The County's Detail Activity Report for 2025 shows the Prosecutor's line with 0.00 actual in every month of 2025, and no other Blue Cares payment appears on the produced lines through 06/30/2025.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2024 report certifies 35,576.00 encumbered at 06/30/2024, the Blue Cares balance of 25,000.00 and a Healthcare Kiosks encumbrance of 10,576.00.
The County's 2024 Detail Activity Report shows the Prosecutor's line with a 100,000.00 budget, 75,000.00 spent and 0.00 encumbered. The 25,000.00 is budget left unspent, not a commitment. The abatement line 232100S149-5E07001 shows 0.00 encumbered in every month from January to August 2024. The 10,576.00 was paid on 10/01/2024 as Contractor Compliance Monitoring Fund, with no encumbrance before it.
fake-encumbrance · 3 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies 187,000.00 encumbered at 06/30/2025, MOSAIC Rising Scholars at 162,000.00 plus 25,000.00 that no FY2025 program names.
The 25,000.00 matches the Prosecutor's unspent Blue Cares budget, which the County's 2025 Detail Activity Report shows with 0.00 encumbered all year. The 162,000.00 was paid on 09/15/2025 on purchase order P207333. The 2025 encumbrance column for the abatement line 232100S149-5E07001 shows no 162,000.00 entry in any month before that payment. This project reads the monthly encumbrance totals to mean the order was never carried as an open commitment at 06/30/2025. Those same totals leave 98,509.69 open on that line at 06/30/2025, and none of it was certified.
fake-encumbrance · 3 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report says the County received 436,698.00 in opioid abatement funds from 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025.
The County's trial balance for its settlement reserve 2149623 shows settlement deposits in that window of 1,099,864.61. Four deposits on 07/31/2024 total 546,848.35. The McKinsey deposit of 09/09/2024 is 112,147.59. The Endo deposit of 10/10/2024 is 97,150.89. Deposits on 04/16/2025 and 06/17/2025 are 73,237.30 and 270,480.48. The reported figure is 663,166.61 less than the deposits. Interest is reported separately and is not part of either figure.
receipts-unreconciled · 2 documents · 09/23/2026On 05/27/2026 the County moved 100,000.00 of budget out of the abatement line 252100S149-5E07001 into a new opioid settlement line, 252100S149-5E03439, titled Replenish, under a transfer described as TFR FOR REPLENISH 26-452-R.
The same day it encumbered 88,362.47 on that line on purchase order P214599, described as Vehicles, Including Automobile. The record does not name the vendor, the vehicle or the department that will use it, and no outreach, treatment or harm reduction program using a vehicle is documented. Vehicles are not among the uses Exhibit E lists. The County limited its September 2026 production to the two 5E07001 lines, so whether the order has been paid is not in the record.
non-conforming-spending · 2 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2024 report describes Blue Cares as a 24 hour hotline staffed by certified peer recovery specialists, run by the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
Asked how the program was procured, the County answered that the Prosecutor's Office is funded directly for this initiative to make up a shortfall and allow this successful program to continue and expand. That is the County's own description of an existing program with a funding gap filled by settlement money. Settlement money may not replace existing funding. The 75,000.00 was charged to the Prosecutor's opioid settlement line on 06/06/2024. On 08/08/2025 the County encumbered a further 193,680.00 on the abatement line for a Blue Cares Hotline agreement. The Prosecutor's earlier funding for Blue Cares is not in the produced record, so whether settlement money replaced it has not been tested.
supplantation · 2 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2026 report certifies New Jersey Harm Reduction Coalition at 131,253.64 (p15) and MOSAIC Go Bags at 23,502.19 (p16) as spent from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026.
The coalition figure is four payments. Two are checks on purchase order P206187, 32,813.42 issued 08/21/2025 and 32,813.39 issued 10/06/2025. Two are invoices on purchase order P212513, 32,813.41 and 32,813.42, paid on one check issued 05/07/2026. The Go Bags figure is nine supply orders, voids netted, including purchase order P207475 for 1,241.26, paid 07/17/2025. All of them were paid in FY2026, so the FY2026 figures match the books. The FY2025 report had already certified the two P206187 checks inside its 131,253.65 for the coalition, and P207475 inside its 32,868.60 for Go Bags, though all three were paid after 06/30/2025. Across the two reports the same 66,868.07 is certified as spent twice, once a year early.
misreported-expenditure · 4 documents · 10/03/2026The FY2024 report says the County has received 2,842,622.21 since distributions began in 2022, and that it holds 3,206,420.97 unspent, 363,798.76 more than it ever received.
The FY2025 report says the County has received 3,384,737.25 including interest, and that it holds 3,477,720.73 unspent, 92,983.48 more than it ever received. Both reports also certify spending in the same years, which would leave less on hand, not more. No balance, deposit total or certified figure in the produced record accounts for either unspent figure.
Withdrawn. Withdrawn on 2026-10-03. The finding measured the unspent figures against the received figures the County certified, and those are short. The settlement reserve 2149623 took in 1,099,864.61 of deposits from 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025, against the 436,698.00 the FY2025 report certifies (p1). That is a separate finding. Question 9 asks what the County has on hand and gives no date. The FY2024 spending figure is the 09/30/2024 balance of the grant reserve, so that report was prepared after 09/30/2024. By 10/10/2024 the reserve had taken in 3,666,113.49 with interest (funds received pp1 to 2) and the settlement lines had paid out 389,330.77 (funds disbursed pp1 to 3), leaving 3,276,782.72. That is more than the 3,206,420.97 certified. The FY2025 report was last updated 08/27/2025 (p5). By then the reserve had taken in 4,729,605.65 (funds received pp1 to 3) and 709,583.88 had been paid out (funds disbursed pp1 to 5), leaving 4,020,021.77. That is more than the 3,477,720.73 certified. Neither unspent figure is shown to exceed what the County held when it reported.
