The board, made up of volunteers and guided by MTSU research, funds addiction services, but critics question if campaign ties and nonprofit donations tainted the process. County finance officials defend the mailer as an educational tool highlighting local recovery resources, and note funding decisions were vetted by multiple county bodies. The Comptroller’s office won’t comment on active investigations but will release findings after audit completion—this money is part of a major opioid crisis settlement.
