Another local governmental body is on track to receive significant monetary damages in a lawsuit recently won against Endo Pharmaceuticals for its part in the opioid crisis that has gripped the region for several years. The Town of Jonesborough Board of Mayor and Aldermen passed a resolution earlier this week to join the Baby Doe lawsuit as a plaintiff seeking monetary damages that the opioid addiction crisis has caused. The case, filed four years ago by district attorneys general in Upper East Tennessee — First Judicial District DA Ken Baldwin, Second Judicial District DA Barry Staubus and Third Judicial District Dan Armstrong — had a hiccup a few months ago when the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that DA’s could not be the plaintiff. The court said in an opinion that municipalities and counties had to be the entities to sue Endo.
