Tom referenced an emailed update about opioid litigation; Sam told commissioners the matter contains many variables and that "there's not a there's a lot of variables" and that officials do not yet have a defined dollar amount.
Sam said the matter is separate from some settlement agreements handled through the Kansas attorney general’s office and is related to the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy and the Sackler settlement; he told commissioners the board’s approval will be required once terms are known.
