This deal heads off civil lawsuits threatened by state attorneys general. Today s agreement sets a new standard for accountability in one of the most devastating crises of our time, said Massachusetts attorney general Maura Healey, in a statement emailed to NPR. As a result, our communities will receive substantial resources for treatment, prevention, and recovery services.
