Judge: Ohio foundation overseeing $440M in opioid settlement must make public decisions

A Franklin County judge has ordered a nonprofit overseeing $440 million in state opioid settlement funds to follow Ohio Sunshine Laws governing public meetings and making decisions in the open.

In his ruling issued Thursday, Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Mark Serrott said the OneOhio Recovery Foundation's argument that it is a private entity is disingenuous and the public should be informed on how the government intends to spend enormous amounts of money.
