District Attorneys General From Northeast Tennessee, Including Sullivan County General Barry Staubus, Are Disappointed That Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery Is Wanting To Take Over Three Lawsuits Filed By 14 Districts Across The State Over The Opioid Crisis. The Suit Was Filed Against Opioid Manufacturer Purdue Pharma And Its Related Companies. It Alleges That A 20 Year Fraudulent Marketing Campaign Downplayed The Effects Of Opioid Prescription Drug Use And Fueled The State’s Epidemic. Most Ag’s Would Like For Slatery To Work With Them And Not Against Them.
