• Crow Wing County Board denies opioid funding for grad blasts (brainerddispatch.com) — Crow Wing County commissioners narrowly rejected using opioid settlement dollars to help fund $200 grad blast grants for local high schools, saying the parties don’t clearly meet prevention criteria. The same coalition is organizing a drug take-back day and exploring expansion with Baxter police and other northern Crow Wing County departments, which could bring more prevention-focused events closer to Baxter residents.
