📰 News we're reading

• After a decade with a marijuana ban, Sutherlin voters will reconsider in November (klcc.org) — Winston residents may be interested that nearby Sutherlin voters will decide in November whether to lift their long-standing ban on marijuana businesses and add a 3% local tax. Sutherlin’s debate was influenced partly by Winston’s 2025 decision to allow dispensaries, as both communities weigh new revenue options against past concerns.
