Nessel encourages communities to join $1.2B opioid settlement with Kroger
LANSING – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is encouraging municipalities to join a $1.2 billion national settlement with Kroger to resolve allegations that the company contributed to the opioid epidemic. Michigan governments will receive nearly $42 million from the settlement over 11 years to help address the opioid crisis. ”The opioid crisis wreaked havoc on our communities, leaving men, women, and children forever changed,” Nessel said. “While this settlement cannot erase the profound impact the opioid epidemic continues to have on our state, it does represent a significant step toward holding companies accountable for the suffering they have caused. I urge every eligible municipality to register to receive these funds so this settlement can effectively reach our communities and help those most desperately in need.” The deadline for local governments and counties to register to receive funds from the Kroger settlement is Monday, Aug. 12. The settlement allows eligible local units of government in Michigan, referred to as subdivisions in the settlement agreement, to participate. If there is sufficient local government joinder, the agreement should become effective by early fall.
