Former Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller to speak on Opioid Crisis Thursday in Waukon

 The public is invited to meet with former State of Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller Thursday, July 13 at 7 p.m. at Robey Memorial Library (lower level) in Waukon to learn about the Opioid Crisis, who fueled the crisis, how these entities were held accountable, and measures enacted to prevent opioid addiction.

Miller and a bipartisan group of other states’ attorneys general sued opioid manufacturers, distributors, and other related parties for their actions in creating the opioid crisis and to recover funds to help address the damage they caused. From one of the settlements, Iowa received $225 million to help with opioid treatment and recovery. Half of any settlement money goes to Iowa’s counties and some cities, and half goes to the State of Iowa.

Opioid addiction touches many lives. Everyone is encouraged to attend.
