opiod settlement
What is this about? Is the Town suing the drug manufacturers and the settlement related to that, or is some other lawsuit in play?
I think it is the national one
There were a few lawsuits back in 2019. The town joined in (after previously opting out) with a national lawsuit suing manufacturers, and this is probably that one.
But… it might be something else.
Backup materials
There are extensive notes concerning the opioid settlement in the backup materials for the meeting on the Town website.
