BRITTANY BAILEY...
AND I'M JEN YORK...
GOOD
GOOD MORNING LIGHT RAIN TODAY GUST IN THE 30MPH RANGE
ALL WEEKEND. COOL DOWN
TOMORROW
TOMORROW
GOOD
GOOD MORNING! THERE IS SOME CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING
IN SPOKANE TODAY. THE
NORTHBOUND LANE OF FREYA
STREET WILL BE CLOSED
FROM MAIN TO OLIVE
STREET.
CREWS ARE DOING SOME
UTILITY WORK IN THE
AREA. SO IF YOU ARE
HEADED OUT IN THIS
DIRECTION THIS MORNING I
WOULD GIVE YOURSELF A
FEW EXTRA MINUTES TO GET
AROUND THE
CONSTRUCTION.
THAT IS THE ONLY UPDATE
I HAVE, BUT I WILL BE
BACK IN 30 MINUTES WITH
MORE.
BRITTANY AND JEN BACK TO
YOU.
YOU.
IT
IT IS
IT IS A
IT IS A WIN FOR PRO- CHOICE ADVOCATES. A FEDERAL JUDGE IN
WASHINGTON BLOCKED NEW
TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION RULES
THAT THREATEN TO CUT OFF
FUNDING FOR
FAMILY PLANNING CLINICS.
THE PRESIDENT'S GAG RULE
AGAINST TITLE TEN
PROGRAMS WOULD
PULL FUNDING FROM
PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
IT WOULD ALSO PROHIBIT
THOSE PROVIDERS FROM
SHARING
INFORMATION ABOUT
ABORTION TO PATIENTS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BOB
FERGUSON FILED A LAWSUIT
EARLIER
THIS YEAR.
AND NOW, A JUDGE GRANTED
AN INJUNCTION ON THE
PRESIDENT'S GAG
ORDER.
ORDER.
WASHINGTON GOVERNOR JAY INSLEE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL.
HE IS PROJECTED TO
ELIMINATE CERTAIN
EXEMPTIONS FOR
THE MEASLES, MUMPS AND
RUBELLA VACCINE.
THE MOVE COMES AMID THE
NATIONWIDE MEASLES
OUTBREAK.
STUDENTS MUST PROVIDE
PROOF THAT THEY HAVE
GOTTEN SHOTS FOR
SEVERAL DIFFERENT
DISEASES, INCLUDING
MEASLES.
BUT RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE
FOUR EXEMPTIONS
AVAILABLE TO
PARENTS WHO DO NOT WANT
TO VACCINATE THEIR
CHILDREN --
MEDICAL, RELIGIOUS,
PERSONAL, AND
PHILOSOPHICAL.
THE NEW BILL WOULD
ELIMINATE PERSONAL AND
PHILOSOPHICAL
EXEMPTIONS.
PHILOSOPHICAL EXEMPTIONS. THE BILL HAS NOW PASSED
BOTH THE WASHINGTON
STATE HOUSE AND
SENATE.
AND GOVERNOR INSLEE HAS
INDICATED HE SUPPORTS
THE
MEASURE.
THE MEASURE. SUPPORTERS SAY THE NEW
BILL WOULD BETTER
PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITIES AND STOP THE
SPREAD OF MEASLES.
THOSE IN OPPOSITION SAY
THE BILL INFRINGES ON
PEOPLES'
RIGHTS.
PEOPLES' RIGHTS.
RIGHTS.
RIGHTS. THE LINE IS CRYSTAL
CLEAR, AND IT ALWAYS WEIGHS ON THE SIDE OF
COMMUNITY
IMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY
SAFETY....
THERE WERE A LOT OF
PARENTS WHO OPPOSED
THIS, AND STRONGLY, AND
A LOT
OF THEM WERE FROM MY
DISTRICT."
"I THINK PARENTS SHOULD
HAVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE
IF YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE SOMETHING PUT INTO
THEIR CHILD'S BODY.".
.
. IF
. IF PASSED, THE NEW BILL COULD DIRECTLY AFFECT
MORE THAN TWO-
THOUSAND SPOKANE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS STUDENTS.
DISTRICT LEADERS SAY
MORE THAN 25-HUNDRED
STUDENTS ARE
CURRENTLY NOT IMMUNE TO
MEASLES. OF THOSE,
NEARLY 14-HUNDRED
STUDENTS HAVE EXEMPTIONS
OF
OF SOME
OF SOME KIND. BUT THE DISTRICT COULD NOT PROVIDE DATA ON HOW
MANY OF
THOSE EXEMPTIONS ARE
PERSONAL OR
PHILOSOPHICAL.
PHILOSOPHICAL.
TOMORROW
TOMORROW IS NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE-BACK
DAY.
TAKE-BACK DAY. IT AIMS TO PROVIDE A
SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE WAY
TO DISPOSE OF
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
KREM 2'S KIERRA ELFALAN
IS LIVE THIS MORNING
WITH MORE ON WHERE YOU
CAN DROP OFF YOUR
MEDICINE... AND WHY ONE
LOCAL
RESEARCHER SAYS IT IS SO
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT.
GOOD
GOOD MORNING. ACCORDING TO THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT
ADMINISTRATION --
SINCE 2002 THERE HAVE
BEEN MORE DEATHS FROM
MISUSE OF
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THAN
COCAINE AND HEROIN
OVERDOSES. JUST A FEW DAYS AGO WSU
SPOKANE HELD AN EVENT AND DISCUSSION ON THE
OPIOID EPIDEMIC OUR
COUNTRY IS FACING.
INCLUDED IN THAT OPIOID
CATEGORY -- OF COURSE
ARE OFTEN
PRESCRIPTION PAIN
KILLERS.
ACCORDING TO THE DEA --
PRESCRIPTION DRUG MISUSE
CAN
ALSO LEAD TO HEROIN USE
IF USERS FIND IT HARDER
AND
HARDER TO GET THEIR
HANDS ON PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS.
LOCAL RESEARCHERS SAY
NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION
DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY COULD
BE THE STEP MANY OF YOU
TAKE -- TO KEEP
YOUR LOVED ONES AWAY
FROM DRUG USE.
I THINK THE NATIONAL
PRESCRIPTION TAKE BACK INITIATIVE HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO
GREATLY DECREASE FUTURE
USE OF PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS. SO WE KNOW THAT
OVER 6 MILLION PEOPLE
HAVE MISUSED
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND
THE MAIN PLACE
THAT THEY'RE GETTING IT
FROM IS FROM THEIR
FAMILY MEDICINE CABINET
OR THE
MEDICINE CABINET AT A
FRIEND'S HOUSE.
FRIEND'S HOUSE.
TOMORROW
TOMORROW FROM 10 AM TO 2 PM SPOKANE RESIDENTS CAN SAFELY GET RID OF ANY
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THEY
HAVE AT ANY OF THOSE
LOCATIONS YOU SEE THERE
ON YOUR SCREEN.
SPOKANE POLICE WILL BE
PARTNERING WITH
DIFFERENT
COMMUNITY GROUPS TO MAKE
SURE THOSE SAFE
LOCATIONS ARE
AVAILABLE.
THEY DO HOWEVER -- WANT
TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT
BRING ANY
NEEDLES -- THOSE WILL
NOT BE ACCEPTED. BUT
THEY WILL HAVE
INFORMATION ON WHERE YOU
CAN PROPERLY GET
RID OF THOSE.
IF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN
THE SPOKANE AREA -- MANY LOCAL POLICE
DEPARTMENTS WILL ALSO BE
ACCEPTING PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS.
IF YOU LIVE IN POST
FALLS YOU CAN TAKE
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS TO
CITY
HALL.
CITY HALL. YOU CAN ALSO HEAD OVER
TO OUR WEBSITE WHERE WE
WILL HAVE A
LINK TO A COLLECTION
SITE LOCATOR YOU CAN USE
TO FIND THE
RIGHT LOCATION IN YOUR
AREA.
LIVE IN SPOKANE, KIERRA

AND THAT IS NOT ALL.
DILLARD IS THE HIGHEST
W-S-U DRAFT PICK SINCE
2003.
THAT IS WHEN MARCUS

ABOUT THE PICK.
