Good morning, San Marcos. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 9th of May.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • The nonprofit news outlet inewsource was named a Pulitzer Prize finalist today in the Illustrated Storytelling and Commentary category for its reporting on fentanyl impacts in our region. The project, led by Steve Breen and his team, detailed how fentanyl trafficking has harmed communities — exposing the heavy toll of this deadly drug.  The Coast News Group

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • A review found that only a few of the hundreds arrested under Proposition 36 have been connected with drug treatment—following a new referral process set up nearly five months ago. Meanwhile, San Marcos residents oppose a proposed residential recovery and wellness campus that will move forward only if it wins competitive state grant funding.  Voice of San Diego
  • On Tuesday, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted against a proposal to use reserve funds to prevent cuts in essential services (the 2-1-1 vote came after robust debate and public feedback) and left officials divided over fiscal plans amid budget concerns. Leaders now face the challenge of balancing fiscal stability with the need to protect vital programs.  The Coast News Group
