Christine Minhee, JD, founder of OpioidSettlementTracker.com, joins us for an insightful discussion on the distribution of opioid settlement funds. In this episode, Christine delves into the complexities of how these funds are allocated at the state and local levels, providing a clear explanation of key concepts such as "Exhibit E" and the issue of supplantation—where settlement funds may be used to replace, rather than supplement, existing state funding. This conversation provides valuable insights for policymakers, community leaders, and advocates seeking to ensure that settlement funds are used effectively to combat the opioid crisis.
