Findings

3 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 FY2025 report certifies 84,720.17 received for 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025, 0.00 of interest and 301,869.89 received since 2022 including interest.

That is the 72,508.10 certified in FY2023, the 144,641.62 certified in FY2024 and the 84,720.17, to the cent. It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 administrative. It then certifies 349,949.48 unspent and uncommitted on hand. That is 48,079.59 more than the Township says it has ever received, interest included. A balance cannot exceed every dollar received. The same report puts the balance 147,723.90 above the FY2024 balance of 202,225.58, in a year it certifies 84,720.17 received. No ledger has been produced.

The FY2026 report certifies 91,155.00 received for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, 0.00 of interest and 393,024.89 received since 2022.

That is the FY2025 cumulative of 301,869.89 plus the 91,155.00, to the cent. It certifies 0.00 spent, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 administrative, and every earlier report certifies 0.00 expended. It then certifies 350,426.84 unspent and uncommitted currently on hand. With nothing spent in any year, the Township's own figures leave 393,024.89 on hand. The certified balance is 42,598.05 lower, and the report accounts for none of the difference. Carried forward from the FY2025 balance of 349,949.48, the 91,155.00 received gives 441,104.48, which is 90,677.64 above the FY2026 figure. The certified balance rose 477.36 in a year the report says 91,155.00 came in and nothing went out. No ledger has been produced.

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

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
