The Washington County Commission voted Monday to approve a resolution affirming its support of a state lawsuit seeking compensation from three named manufacturers of prescription opioid drugs. The measure passed 13-0, with Commissioners Kent Harris and Mike Ford absent from the meeting. The resolution says commissioners âsupport the Drug Liability Act Lawsuit and hereby ratify and affirm the agreement to retain counsel to file this lawsuit on behalf of Washington County, Tennessee, against those legally responsible.â The litigation was filed in Sullivan County by local prosecutors in 2017 against drug manufacturers for their alleged roles in an âopioid epidemicâ under the stateâs Drug Dealer Liability Act.
