Selectboard to consult Attorney General before deciding on opioid-settlement participation
Summary
The board debated whether to accept monthly opioid-settlement payments of "$15 to $75" directly or allocate them to the Vermont Opioid Abatement Account Fund and will consult the Attorney General's Office before deciding by Sept. 30.
Selectboard members discussed whether Weston should participate in a potential opioid settlement and how to receive funds if the town participates. The settlement would provide monthly payments "ranging from $15 to $75," according to the meeting discussion. Members expressed uncertainty about whether it would be better to receive funds directly or to direct proceeds to the Vermont Opioid Abatement Account Fund.
The board decided to consult with the Vermont Attorney General's Office and gather more information before making a participation decision by Sept. 30. No formal vote or direction to accept funds was taken at the meeting.
