Research notes

US-MN (St. Louis County, Duluth). Discovered 2026-10-22 for #17. Not one of this agent's assigned counties; found while searching Minnesota settlement-funded campaigns. Start year inferred: the campaign paragraph is absent from the March 2024 Wayback capture and present from the August 2024 capture; endYear left open because the dates are not given. The page links DEA One Pill Can Kill materials; paid channels not named, so channel is only the county web page. By 2026 the page instead lists a settlement-funded recovery-stories initiative, 'Our Recovery, Our Community' (StoryMaps). No agency credited.
