Today, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman announced nearly $20 million will be going to 75 Kentucky organizations.
Some of the groups focus on treatment and recovery, others focus on prevention, and the money comes from the opioid Abatement Advisory Commission.
This is not me with a large check presentation.
This is not the attorney General's money.
This money passing through the commission is blood money.
This is blood money.
This is money clawed back from those that brought this crisis and brought this devastation to our Commonwealth.
We must treat this money as stewards.
Since 2021, the Commission has invested more than $85 million in drug prevention, treatment and recovery efforts in the state.
