The Carter County Board of Commissioners entered a closed attorney-client session to discuss litigation related to the countys participation in opioid claims and a connected bankruptcy matter. After reconvening in open session, a motion by Isaiah Grindstaff, seconded by Nancy Brown, to accept the proposed settlement offered by County Attorney Josh Hardin was approved by roll call (22 yes, 0 no).
