MONTPELIER â Only nine states and the District of Columbia remain opposed to OxyContin maker Purdue Pharmaâs plan to reorganize into a new entity that helps combat the U.S. opioid epidemic, and Vermont is one of them.
Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan on Thursday said the agreement, filed in federal court, allows the family to walk away from statesâ legal claims against them with billions in assets, while states are still on the hook for the damage caused by opioid addiction.
âI do not support the proposed Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan because it does not sufficiently hold the Sackler family accountable,â Donovan said Thursday in a press release.

MONTPELIER A state commission has found that the Vermont State Police and the Vermont Department of Public Safety illegally discriminated against the African American director of the Clemmons Family Farm based on her race and gender.
In a 5-0 vote in March, the Vermont Human Rights Commission found there were reasonable grounds to believe that troopers violated Vermont’s Fair Housing and Public Accommodations Act in 2017 in their interactions with Lydia Clemmons, the director of the nonprofit center for African American arts, culture and agriculture.
