📰 News we're reading
• Josephine County commissioners again fail to meet due to lack of quorum (kobi5.com) — Josephine County’s Board of Commissioners once again couldn’t conduct business in Grants Pass after Monday’s meeting was adjourned in a minute for lack of a quorum. With one seat vacant after a recent resignation and another commissioner absent and possibly recused from appointing a replacement, key county decisions are stalled while officials sort out how to legally fill the vacancy. 
• Coastal Landslide Shuts Key Highway, Forcing Costly Detours for Southern Oregon Travelers (grantspasstribune.com) — If you’re driving from Grants Pass to the central Oregon coast, expect longer, costlier trips after a landslide shut down Highway 229 near Siletz. The closure forces Southern Oregon travelers onto more congested alternate routes, raising fuel and time costs for work, medical visits, and coastal getaways. Officials have no reopening timeline, so residents should plan carefully and monitor conditions.
