Findings

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.

01

The Township has not spent any of its opioid settlement money through 06/03/2026.

The FY2023, FY2024 and FY2025 reports each certify zero expended and zero spent on administration. The FY2024 and FY2025 reports also certify zero encumbered and answer No to funding any program. The FY2026 report, published 10/01/2026, certifies zero expended, zero encumbered and zero administration for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026 and answers No to funding any program. The Township's Grant Budget Account Status and Transaction Audit Trail, printed 06/03/2026 for 01/01/2022 to 06/03/2026, covers five National Opioid Settlement reserve accounts, G-02-41-765-122-301 through G-02-41-765-126-301. They carry a modified budget of 100,092.10 with zero expended, zero encumbered and no transaction line. The record holds no print for 06/04/2026 to 06/30/2026. The FY2024 and FY2025 reports state that the Township has no strategic plan, has completed no risk assessment and has not engaged the public, and that it plans to do each in the future. The FY2026 report answers No on a strategic plan. It answers No, but plan to in the future, on a risk assessment and on public engagement.

02

The Township certified more money on hand than it certified ever receiving.

The FY2024 report certifies 45,667.03 received since distribution began in 2022, zero interest and zero expended. Question 9 of the same report certifies 63,377.62 unspent and uncommitted on hand, which is 17,710.59 more than every dollar it reports receiving. The FY2025 report certifies 51,747.82 received since 2022 including interest, zero interest and zero expended, and 69,458.41 unspent and uncommitted on hand. The gap is again 17,710.59. With nothing spent, the balance on hand and the total received should be the same figure. Both cannot be accurate. The Township's reserve accounts carry 100,092.10 as of 06/03/2026, which matches neither figure. The Township produced no revenue record, so which figure is right cannot be settled from the record.

Frequently asked questions

Can 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

What did Plainsboro Township tell the State it spent the money on?

No certified program is published for this jurisdiction yet. When a report is captured, each program appears here beside the payments in the account.See the reports

How was this grade computed?

By code, from a published rubric: reporting integrity 50 percent, spending conformity 40 percent, transparency 10 percent, with hard caps for a certified program that has no payee in the books, for an uncertified transfer out, and for a records refusal.The rubric
