2 findings.
Every finding is verified to the documents in its own row. An inference is labelled as one.
Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2024 report certifies 125,565.14 received since the distribution commenced in 2022, including 2,410.27 of interest.
It certifies 3,700.00 expended in the period, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 on administration, and the FY2023 report certifies nothing expended through 06/30/2023. It then certifies 0.00 in unspent and uncommitted funds on hand. By the Township figures 121,865.14 remained on hand at 06/30/2024. The zero is false on the face of the report.
unspent-misstated · 2 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2025 report certifies 195,393.67 received since 2022, including 1,723.07 of interest in the period, and 10,950.00 expended with 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 on administration.
With the 3,700.00 certified expended the year before, the reports account for 14,650.00 of spending, which leaves 180,743.67. The report certifies 125,121.60 unspent and uncommitted, 55,622.07 less. No encumbrance or administrative expense in either report explains the difference, and 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
