Good morning, Scranton.
🏘️ Community

Funds raised will support the NEPA Youth Shelter that helps kids in need.
💼 Business
My Mother's Delicacies Bakery in Scranton has been a local staple for over 35 years (baking hand-rolled rugelach from a family Polish recipe) and serves fresh pastries.
Founder Susan Herlands started baking and selling these treats in 1988 and now offers a mix of traditional and new flavors to customers.
🏛️ Government
Gov. Josh Shapiro urged lawmakers on February 4 to create an adult-use cannabis program that he said would recapture revenue lost to neighboring states and allow regulated sales early next year.
His fifty-one and a half billion dollar budget proposal includes ten million dollars for a restorative justice program, twenty-five million for agriculture support, and funds for enforcement—while critics warn legalization may boost black market sales and complicate DUI checks.

The Lady Royals took an early lead—keeping it throughout the match—and showed strong play to win the game.
