Virginia could collect up to 28 million dollars over the next 11 years as part of a nationwide settlement with grocery store titan Kroger.

That was the announcement yesterday morning from Attorney General Jason Miyares, who says the 1-point-4 billion dollar multi-state settlement stems from Kroger’s role in helping to proliferate the national opioid crisis.

Miyares added that Virginia’s estimated share of national litigation against the pharmaceutical industry over the opioid crisis so far is around 1.1 billion dollars.
