Lexington city officials are setting up the framework for spending opioid settlement dollars. The central Kentucky government has almost three million dollars in hand from the class-action settlement with a drug manufacturer. Kacy Allen-Bryant is the commissioner of social services. Allen-Bryant said the focus is on abatement.
“Some of these side effects that we’ve had because of the opioid epidemic, where it’s from people being homeless or children being orphans or mental health issues, whatever it is, trying to help rectify those as well as prevent future use of opioids, what can we do,” said Allen-Bryant.
