Resident urges pause after oversight body flags Washington County opioid-settlement grant applications
Summary
A Washington County resident warned commissioners that statewide reviewers flagged and rejected opioid-settlement grant applications for the county, potentially risking repayment of awarded funds and urging greater transparency and expert oversight.
Evan Taylor, introduced by the clerk as a resident and veteran, told the Washington County Board of Commissioners during public comment that a statewide oversight body rejected the county’s opioid settlement grant applications and flagged nine more for further review. Taylor said those findings put ‘‘more than 430,000’’ dollars already at risk and ‘‘nearly 900,000’’ potentially subject to repayment and urged the board to pause, restore transparency and retain experienced experts to oversee allocation.
