(WRN) -Wisconsin is not part of a tentative settlement between Purdue Pharma and 22 states that sued the company over its role in the opioid crisis.An executive committee of lawyers representing cities, counties and other groups in a federal lawsuit is recommending the deal be accepted. But some state attorneys general, who sued Purdue and its owners, the Sackler family are not on board.
That includes Wisconsin's Josh Kaul, who released the following:
“The Sackler family has made billions of dollars from the sale of opioids. Wisconsin has alleged that two Purdue Pharma entities and Richard Sackler contributed to the opioid epidemic through unlawful conduct. We’re committed to getting justice and, in my view, Purdue’s current position doesn’t achieve that.”
