Spotlight PA is looking at the current discussions surrounding the allocation of $1.8 billion from opioid settlements.
The funds are intended for various uses, including medication-assisted treatment and public awareness campaigns.
However, disagreements have arisen between state oversight and local governments over spending priorities, such as allocations for law enforcement and public defenders.
Investigative reporter Ed Mahon explores these disputes, transparency challenges, and how residents can monitor fund usage through Spotlight PA’s dedicated database. He discussed these issues with Radio Catskill’s Patricio Robayo.
