📰 News we're reading

• Early, late swing plays allow North Farmington to escape Wayne State with 14-13 win over Groves (theoaklandpress.com) — High school football is back, and one of the related matchups saw Rochester pull away from L'Anse Creuse North for a season-opening win, highlighted in a linked photo gallery. The main story details North Farmington's tight 14–13 victory over Birmingham Groves at Wayne State, setting the tone for an exciting prep season around Oakland County.
   

• Bills would help Michigan teachers pay for health care (themorningsun.com) — A Rochester teacher's rising health-care costs are used to illustrate how Michigan's current cap on public employee insurance contributions is squeezing educators' budgets. New bills in Lansing would raise that cap and require districts to cover at least 80% of premiums, a change supporters say is key to retaining teachers amid stagnant salaries and growing shortages.
