Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.
The FY2024 report certifies 151,337.98 received since the distribution commenced in 2022, including 67.60 of interest.
It certifies 4,317.96 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 147,020.02 remained on hand at 06/30/2024. The FY2025 report certifies 156,596.03 received since 2022 and 48,852.00 expended with nothing encumbered, which leaves 103,426.07 after both years of spending. It certifies 98,100.42 on hand, 5,325.65 less, and does not explain the difference.
unspent-misstated · 3 documents · 09/23/2026The FY2023 report names one program, Substance Abuse Education for Students, run by the South Brunswick Municipal Alliance, with funding of 21,325.51, every dollar the Township had received through 06/30/2023.
The FY2024 report lists Municipal Alliance as a program funded on 06/14/2024 at 4,317.96, all expended, with a launch date of 01/01/2015. The FY2025 report certifies 48,852.00 more expended on the Municipal Alliance program and says its funding increased. Across the two years 53,169.96 of settlement money went to a program the Township reports as running since 2015. The reports do not show whether the settlement money added to the existing funding of that program or replaced it, and no budget or ledger has been produced to answer that.

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
