📰 News we're reading
• Luzerne County opioid commission advances funding request (timesleader.com) — Luzerne County's opioid commission backed funding for RecoverU recovery housing in Wilkes-Barre but rejected a proposed new hotline and delayed two other requests, including one from Wyoming Seminary for a prevention program. For Wyoming-area families, these choices shape what treatment, housing, and youth support options may expand locally as settlement dollars are spent.
