Good morning, Gillette. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 17th of June.

- ➤ Gasoline prices are rising again after a two-week drop—nationally, the price increased 1.1 cents to $3.08 per gallon while Campbell County saw a 6-cent rise to $3.09, and further hikes are expected as tensions between Israel and Iran boost oil prices. County 17
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ The Wyoming Education Association and nine parents filed a lawsuit on Friday in Cheyenne to stop the state voucher program that gives $7,000 per student to private schools and shifts public money away from local education. The complaint names state superintendent Megan Degenfelder and state treasurer Curt Meier and claims the program violates the state constitution and harms rural schools — a move that could weaken public education in many communities.
