San Antonio City Council is discussing what to do with the city's share of the money from the opioid settlement. Texas and several other states will divvy up nearly 50-billion-dollars over the next 18 years, to be paid from pharmaceutical companies because of the role they played in the crisis. Texas will receive three-billion-dollars, and six-million of that is coming to San Antonio. So far the city has received a million-dollars. Councilmembers met yesterday to talk about how to spend it on anti-opioid programs.
