Suffolk County lawmakers voted unanimously on Monday to accept millions of dollars in settlements from pharmaceutical companies. They sued the drug makers for their role in the over-prescription of opioids.
As part of the settlements, Johnston & Johnston and Purdue Pharma could pay nearly $20 million each over the next decade. Rite Aid, Walmart, CVS and Walgreens pharmacies will pay under $5 million each.
Rob Calarco, the presiding officer of the county Legislature, said the settlements end litigation against some drugmakers — but not all — that are being sued right now in a Long Island court by the county and state.
