About this listen

This text describes Baltimore City's ambitious legal effort to secure $5.2 billion through an abatement plan to address the long-term impact of the opioid crisis, focusing on future recovery and prevention rather than solely on past damages. The city is pursuing this funding in a second phase of litigation after securing a previous judgment against drug distributors. This strategy, which outlines funding for various services like treatment, housing, and support for affected families, could set a precedent for other local governments seeking resources for ongoing public health issues. The approach is highlighted as potentially becoming a national model for holding companies accountable for widespread community harm.
