Cameron outlines opioid settlement s impact on Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky stands to eventually reap more than $460 million to combat its opioid-addiction woes as its share from a possible $26 billion settlement with several pharmaceutical companies, Attorney General Daniel Cameron said Wednesday. Cameron laid out details of the potential impact of a settlement on Kentucky, which has been hit hard by the deadly scourge of opioid addiction. The looming deal would settle lawsuits accusing the pharmaceutical companies of fueling the dependency woes from the painkillers. “This settlement has been long and hard-fought, but we have remained committed to ensuring that the companies are held accountable and that the commonwealth receives its share,” Cameron said at a news conference.
