Tell your Commissioners: Practice Transparency when Spending Opioid Settlement Funds

Posted Aug 10, 2023, by Paul Fedore

Opioid Fund Transparency Petition Action Alert (Facebook Event Cover)

There is a lot of money coming into local governments from the recent opioid settlements, and county commissioners are the ones in charge of spending it. There is nothing saying that the public must be made aware of how they spend the funds. We need to make sure these funds are used properly, and the county needs to be transparent about it.

Sign our petition asking your county commissioners to be transparent and to keep the public up-to-date on how these funds are being spent.
