Michigan's Opioid Funds: $176M Sitting Idle
Description
Michigans opioid settlement funds, totaling $176 million, have been slow to be spent, with only 17% allocated over three years. A new agreement requires local governments to report spending, revealing that 75 out of 120 reporting entities hadnt spent any funds. Twelve counties, mostly up north, and cities like Warren and Farmington Hills, held onto millions. Some governments took time to plan long-term funding, while naloxone use may have reduced urgency.
