Connecticut will be receiving $300
million over the next 18 years as part of a massive
opioid settlement reached Wednesday.
Attorney General
William Tong says 15% will be funneled directly to local cities and towns.
The rest will be
used for state prevention, treatment and recovery programs.
This settlement
does not involve Stamford-based Perdue Pharma, which is still negotiating an
even bigger settlement with nearly all 50 states.
