MN Senate passes bill to distribute $300M+ from settlement with opioid mfgrs, distributors

May 5, 2022 By Bill Werner

Senators needed little encouragement from Fairmont Republican Julie Rosen to unanimously vote “yes.”  “Please stand with me,” Rosen said, “And recognize the justice that Senate File 4025 brings to the many victims and their families for this horrific journey that they have been on.”
