Ex-Iowa gov., ag. sec. to monitor Purdue Pharma
WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK — Purdue Pharma, the embattled company behind opioid pain drug Oxycontin, has tapped Tom Vilsack, a former Iowa governor and U.S agriculture secretary, to monitor the firm during its bankruptcy process to ensure it does not bring back aggressive marketing tactics, according to a Washington Post report.
Vilsack has Northern Colorado ties. He and wife Christie Vilsack were tapped by Colorado State University in 2017 to advise the school on agricultural education initiative.
