Commission Created to Handle Opioid Settlement

Commission Created to Handle Opioid Settlement

Eau Claire County wants to hear from the community as to how it should spend its opioid settlement money.

County supervisors last week agreed to create a commission that will help decide how to spend the two-point-six million-dollars the county is getting as part of the national opioid settlement. The idea is to focus on treatment and help for people dealing with addiction. Eau Claire County hopes to get the first 300 thousand-dollars from the settlement by the end of the year.
