Findings

4 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 FY2024 report certifies 117,856.96 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, 0.00 of interest since 2022 and 190,615.90 received since the distribution began in 2022 (p1).

It certifies 18,397.13 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 178,540.50 unspent and uncommitted on hand (p1). The FY2023 report certifies 59,081.09 received and 12,365.00 expended as of 06/30/2023 (p1). On the FY2024 report's own cumulative, 190,615.90 received less 30,762.13 spent leaves 159,853.77. The certified on hand figure is 18,686.73 more than that. The two reports' receipts add to 176,938.05, so the on hand figure is also 1,602.45 more than every dollar the Township reported receiving, before any spending. No ledger or bank record has been produced.

The FY2023 report certifies 59,081.09 received as of 06/30/2023 (p1).

The FY2024 report certifies 117,856.96 received between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 and 0.00 of interest since 2022, then certifies 190,615.90 received since 2022 (p1). The two receipts add to 176,938.05. The certified cumulative is 13,677.85 more, with no interest to explain it. The FY2025 report certifies 248,372.21 received since 2022, which is 176,938.05 plus its own 62,934.16 and 8,500.00 to the cent (p1). The FY2025 report drops the 13,677.85 the FY2024 report counted.

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 Hillsborough Township tell the State it spent the money on?

It certified 14 programs to the Department of Human Services. Each program, its recipient and its amount are reproduced above, 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
