Why this Pennsylvania City Called the Proposed $21B Opioid Settlement Unacceptable
“Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s lawsuit last week against state Attorney General Josh Shapiro was not the only roadblock toward reaching an agreement on the proposed $21 billion settlement with opioid distributors. While Krasner waited until Thursday to denounce,” reports J.D. Prose in Go Erie.
“The agreement and file the suit, Washington state’s attorney general rejected the settlement on Wednesday, the same day it was announced, saying that the deal was deficient in numerous ways for his state. Krasner felt the same, describing the deal as unacceptable for his addiction ravaged city and claiming Shapiro lacks the authority.”
