📰 News we're reading
• Whitehall considers eliminating treasurer position, advances zoning changes for LVHN (wfmz.com) — Whitehall Township leaders are considering a home rule charter change that would eliminate the elected treasurer and replace it with an appointed finance director who would oversee all tax collection and financial management. If approved by commissioners, voters will decide the change in November. The board also advanced rezoning for a 147-acre Lehigh Valley Health Network property on MacArthur Road to allow a hospital and 190 housing units. 
• To sell or not to sell: Whitehall commissioners debate whether to offload 2 properties (wfmz.com) — Whitehall Township commissioners are weighing whether to sell two township-owned properties, including 43 vacant acres along Range and Eberhart roads and a parcel on West Columbia Street, with board leaders strongly divided over the idea. Some argue a sale could bring valuable revenue, while others say it’s too risky without an updated comprehensive plan. A final decision could come at the June 8 commissioners meeting.
• 40 players to watch in the PIAA boys volleyball championships (pennlive.com) — Whitehall volleyball standout libero Drew Sodl is spotlighted for reaching 1,000 career digs as the PIAA boys volleyball championships get underway statewide. The piece highlights 40 key players from across Pennsylvania, including an Emmaus star who helped defeat Whitehall for a District 11 title, giving local fans context on who to watch in the state tournament.
