📰 News we're reading

• In disputes over turf vs. grass, neither side gets entirely solid footing so far (idahostatesman.com) — Glastonbury voters narrowly rejected a referendum that would have banned any new synthetic turf fields on town-owned properties, after weeks of intense local debate. Supporters and opponents are now shifting toward how to replace the town’s existing turf field, with environmental concerns, athlete safety, and field conditions all driving what promises to be a closely watched community discussion.
