  Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm will Welch. Around fifteen hundred College Station
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: ISSD employees are again dealing with a new provider of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: health insurance. Price was the driving factor in last week's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: school board decision. Changing to Baylor, Scott and White starting
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: September first, was going to save between eighty seven and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty five dollars a month, depending on
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the plan, compared with staying with Blue Cross Blue Shield
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of Texas. Csisd's consultant, Ross Gunnals of and Co Insurance
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: said it was not financially possible to offer employees a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: choice of both companies.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: You would think an employer with roughly fifteen hundred people enrolled.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Would have the ability to do.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: That, But in these bids, the carrier assumes a certain
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: participation rate, and so if you cut into that, both
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: carriers are going to assume the worst, and they're going
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to assume adverse risk, and they're going to all raise
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: their rates up to where it's not affordable in either option.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: CSISD board members were told Blue Cross was raising their
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: rates twenty eight percent because the dollar amount of claims
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: they paid last year was nine percent above the revenue
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: they received from CSISD employees. Brian ISD school board members
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: decided to pay for replacing air conditioning chillers at five
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: elementary schools with bond money approved by voters in twenty
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: twenty instead of last Novembers bond issue. Recommendations from Deputy
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Superintendent Brian Merrill also included making the purchase through a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: cooperative instead of seeking bids. That's in order to meet
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: an August deadline to spend the bond money from six
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: So we're going to say twenty twenty five items. Many
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: of it is the mechanical engineering, plumbing technology, and we're
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: going to move that forward and we're going to pay
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: for it out of twenty twenty. But to do that,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: there's a ton limit on using bonds, and we want
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: to make sure we always honor that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: The budget was not announced to replace chillers at Bottom, Crockett, Houston, Johnson,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and Navarro elementary schools. The City of College Station is
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the public comment period about how
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: more than three and a half million dollars in federal
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Community Development grant money will be spent next year.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: This process to determine the most pressing need is affordable housing,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: while the biggest barrier was public transportation.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Rainy Whitwell of the city's Community Development Office detailed the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: two hundred and six page draft at the last City
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Council meeting. The public comment period ends July thirteenth, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the council takes action on July twenty third. Grant restrictions
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: are to benefit low and moderate income residents, aid in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the elimination of slum and blight, and address an urgent
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: community need. More than fifty people named to a Brass
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: County committee at the last County commission meeting left County
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Commissioner Fred Brown with questions, chich, I don't understand this.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: You know, Normally, if you've got ten people on a committee, it's.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Hard to get anybody to agree to anything.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: But here we're going to have fifty people on a
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: fifty plus people in the committee.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a train wreck. County Judge Dwayne
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Peters read off the names of those on the Brass
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: County Grand Jury who will also hear salary grievances filed
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: by an elected official.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: Those are all off the grand jury. That's what that
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: list of names. So those are grand jury and they
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: can serve on salary, but only nine gets served.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Peters says, if the grievance committee unanimously supports the elected official,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: then the Commission must raise the salary. If the committee
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: vote is eight to one, then the commission makes the decision.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: If there are two or more no votes, then the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: elected official loses the appeal. News is presented by Pioneers

  Speaker 7: girl talk this morning, my fever one will Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Are you watching America's Sweethearts? America's Sweethearts? I'd made the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: mistake last night. As I was thumbing through the streaming networks,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I hit the Netflix and there it was the new
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: season of America's Sweetheart. Now have you watched the previous
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: two seasons unintentionally? Okay? Yeah, so they would be on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I have to give the power of the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: remote to other people in the house, and because I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: want to spend time with them, I suffer through such.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: You say, you say suffer and I I mean I
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: have watched. I'm saving the last episode for tonight because
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: I didn't really want to get into it yesterday.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: But I love that show.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, there's probably a couple of people
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: who don't know what it's about.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: Oh yes, okay, America.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: Sweethearts is the Netflix phenomenon chronicling the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: It's part of a big deal Netflix collab that they
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: have with the team. They do this show every season,
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: and then they did that ridiculous documentary with Jerry one day.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I hope that they start focusing on football again.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: They don't know.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: They focus on Jerry's money, and I will get into that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: We can get into my theory on the Cowboys and
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: Jerry Jones some other time. I will tell you this.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: Jerry Jones Cowboys fans, he is laughing at you. Yeah,
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: he is laughing at you every day from that office.
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: Because he doesn't have to. You want a championship, he
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: didn't have to give you one. He don't have to
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: give you one. You'll show up.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: He knows you'll show up, and he knows that you'll
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: watch Dallas Cowboys content wherever it may be. But that's
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: what I thought that this was. I thought it was
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: a cash grab when I first saw it. It's like,
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: this is actually pretty incredible television to me because season one,
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: they're showing all these things these girls have to do
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: for essentially no money.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they make nothing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: Nothing, and you know they're hapen to have extra jobs
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: and whatever and this and that and all the other stuff.
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: And then season two they.
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: Kind of rebelled against the system, you know they had.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: They kind of unionized a little bit and there was
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: the question of whether or not that this was going
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: to get a bunch of them kicked off the team
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: or whatever and got him raise.
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: Hey, this is awesome. Season three. Though they're loaded, they're all.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Rich, they've all become Internet sensations.
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they become it's it's the biggest thing on TV.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Influencers. Back in my day, we called that trendsetters.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Riley, you get into this or no, no, no.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I would have sworn that you had a Dallas Cowboys
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: cheerleader costume back in the day.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: I was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader for one Halloween. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: I'm not a Dallas Cowboys fan. I just my my
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: grandma was, and then my parents like to watch NFL
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: a little bit then, So I just dressed it because
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: it was just brim.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Every little girl wanted to be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: not just in Texas.
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: But you didn't want to cheer for him, but anyway. Yeah,
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: I don't watch I don't watch the show, nor will
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: I ever watched the.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Show, Riley, I have to I have to encourage you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to watch it, because what Tucker is saying here is
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that it is actually entertaining. It's in the same sort
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of way that like some of the MTV reality shows
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: back in the day were like the Real World.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: I would say, even more so because it's such a
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: big and again.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: I am firmly in the belief that like a lot
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: of dudes watch.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: This show because course they like the show, like, it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: a great show.
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: If you're watching it right now and.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: You want to give us your thoughts nine seven, nine six,
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: sixteen twenty, I'll try to stay away from spoilers as
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: much as I can.
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: Well, my thing with all of it is, do y'all
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: a long time ago, I guess back whenever they could
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: say do whatever they want, you have to cut your
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: hair this certain way, this and the other kind of
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: turned in my head the opposite direction of I don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: like how they were.
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: Oh, I can't stand it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: I have real problems with Kelly, you say, back in
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: the real problems.
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it was worse back then. Now they're they've because
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: she's had to. She's almost like that dance mom's woman
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: that that very much like Abby, but she's had to
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: dial back way more than she used to. Like when
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: she used to she used to be way awful than
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: she is now. But now she can get in lawsuits
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: and stuff.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But still to this it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: Just turn I don't like that kind. I think it's
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: trashy to this day.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Here is a list of rules, but you have to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you have to have to be a Dallas cowboy s.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: These are the ones that still exist on the.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Books, and this is just ten of them. There's more. Yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: no visible tattoos. I did know that one glitter eyeshadow
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is a no which anything glitter. I'm perfectly happy. Banning
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: dating NFL players is prohibited now.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: That's not just to my knowledgist, not just I don't
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: think that. I think there's a hard ban on it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: And it's an hr thing, yes, because that's a nightmare.
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: You don't want that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You have to maintain your size, you don't get a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: new uniform yep.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: And famously, they don't get to keep any of their stuff,
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: none of it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: None of it. You have to no memorabilia, leaves with you.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: You leave the memorable estays.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: My issue with it is when you walk in if
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: she doesn't like your hair color, your hairstyff, you cut
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: your hair, change your hair color, and then after all
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: of that's said and done, she can still kick you
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: off the team be like, oh, I still don't like that.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: But it's so cruel because I'm sorry.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: You know who you like and who you don't like,
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: even before you change your hair. You just did that
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: to be a horrible person, and she's a horrible person
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: if she does.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: That to people.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Preach you have to be in full hair and makeup
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: every day, every every.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Every day, every day, every practice, every every game.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: They are doing this.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm going on.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: Public is bad enough Again, it's hot in Texas. They're
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: doing three hours of cardio in full face.
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: That's insane.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: This one, this one gets me. You can't be anywhere
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: alcohol is served or attend to parties.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: Is that still that's still on the list.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Of course you can't. You can't miss a rehearsal. You
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: must say yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am that you will notice
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that you can't. You can't post provocative photos on Instagram.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: They get real. They've kicked people off for that, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: again not even not even really that risque. It's just
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: if Kelly doesn't like it, right.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, out it doesn't fit the brand out And finally
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you have to avoid spray t hands with orange tones.
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: I don't know how she's even still allowed to have
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: the job she had.
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: I think, I think what's happening if you watch theason?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I bet Jerry is scared of her.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: It doesn't matter.
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: She's an HR nightmare.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: If Jerry Jones is an HR nightmare, yeah, he's a billionaire,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: set the bar.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: This is the thing that trips me out too, is
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: there's so much frustration over whittling the roster down.
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: In what universe you are making so much money on this, why.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: Don't you just bring in ten more girls, rotate them
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: so that their legs and arms don't fall off.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You were talking about surgeries, the shoulders, everything.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Three one of them has the same injuries every single
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: Your thunderstruck destroys women like it's just not meant to be.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: You're not supposed to propel your legs like that at
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: force all the time, and you're not supposed to jump
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: with twenty other girls and land in a split like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: you're not supposed to do that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: That hurts me. That hurts me watching.
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: It's it's just insane.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: And all you'd have to do is get ten more
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: girls and then rotate them through, rotate some off, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: the work rate would improve. And the ones that aren't
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: doing a game this week, they go and do some appearances,
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: which makes you more money.
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: What are you doing? What are you doing? Like it
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: doesn't make any sense to me at all.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It makes it makes sense to me because I lived
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: in the competitive cheer world. That's yeah, year decade, yeah, true, true,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and you see that sort of stuff.

  Speaker 7: you're gonna test me on this, aren't you?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So so you know I saw that one, Yeah, and
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that was fine. I used caution, got around it, No
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: big deal. Then shortly thereafter this one did not survive.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I hit a skunk, Yeah, yeah, which is okay. If
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you're going to kill an animal on a road, skunk
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: is not the one nobody. Nobody's gonna go. Oh, I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: can't believe you killed the poor sky. It's not like
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: running over somebody's kitten.
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And then this morning, on the way into work, one
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: of the biggest armadillos I've ever seen.
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: And you need glasses, dude.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I did not hit him.
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: They almost nearly hit and or hit more animals than
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: anyone I've ever met.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: There is a huge difference between almost and nearly hit
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and hit church.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: But that is an interesting statement. How many animals have
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: you actually hit with a motor vehicle? How many me
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: all of us.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: And you've you've never hit an bugs? Okay, bugs don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: bugs don't count. How are you? How's your bug count?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: By the way, bug count two fifty is staggering, of course.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I drove through East Texas twice.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: I think it's do you think it's a truck? Do
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: you think it's just the nature and not saying that
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: the brand or anything. It's a big, monstrous vehicle. Maybe
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: somehow that attracts the I don't.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Know, I don't know, right, Yeah, I've hit more bugs,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: it seems like in this truck than I did with
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the jeep and that jeep with a flat windshield, Riley,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I've dodged all but one animal, and that was a skunk. Okay,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: just no, you.
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: Almost killed that buzzer.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure you hit him bad.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: That buzzard was fine, But again, nobody cares about buzzards
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: or skunk.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: Either are expendable creatures. They are, These are expendable creatures. No, seriously,
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: what's your count? What's your count? Ladies and gentlemen.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to come up with it because I know
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that there. I mean, you forget about squirrels on occasion,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing you can do about a squirrel. I
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: have never hit a deer. I have never hit a hog.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I've come very close to both.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: I've had I've had several friends that have taken out deers. Obviously,
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: I feel like that's a that's one that just it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: almost a sure thing that at some point during your
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: life are going to clock deer. In state at Texas,
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: I've definitely had friends hit hogs. A friend hit a cow.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: You get a black cow at night, black in the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: road in the country.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Escape and then all of a sudden, there it is
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: in front of your car, come around a curb and boom,
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: blow out, and that does some damage.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: Gator.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I've never hit a gator.
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: My dad's hit a gator before. My dad's hit every
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: single animal you've named. But he lives on farm fields
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: his entire life.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So yet you're not telling him he needs to go
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: get his eyes.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: Checked when he's out there. It's one of those things
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: that he's right.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: He's driving right along the side of his crops, so
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: they come out of the crops and you can't see them.
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: It's not like he's on the side of the highway.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: It is such a traumatic thing for me whenever I
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: hit an animal, that I still I still remember the
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: ones I've taken out.
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: I feel like I cry if you have.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: A soft heart when it comes to the animals, and I'll.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: Try to you know, I know it's bad, Like if
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: I I I. I know you're supposed to keep the
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: rate of speed. It's like the animal. Yeah, it's like
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Rocky four. If he dies, he dies, right. But yeah,
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: if it's in a neighborhood, I will buy.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: It's like I'm trying to avoid squirrels or try to
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: avoid anything. I don't want any piece of I've taken
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: out one of God's lovely little beings with my vehicle.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I've run over some snakes. I don't
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: think I've ever hit an armadillo.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: You've had to yes, snakes, Okay, I guess I lied.
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: I have run over a snake before because there's a
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: giant rattlesnake and I just took it out because I
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: don't like them.
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: But I did that intentionally. Does that count? That's even work?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you temitated targeted. It was in the.
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: Middle of the road, and this thing was six feet long,
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: and it is right next.
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: To a pasture of ours. Could not buy that not
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: allow that to live.
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: I could have probably slowed down, but I didn't.
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: I know you got I know for a fact you
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: guys have hit some wild things. If you want to
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: share your story, please texts nine of A nine six
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: sixteen twenty. Are you a person like Will who, for
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: some reason, every animal with a death wish is just
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: looking for you?
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: You are giving me a bad reputation. I guarantee you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I've killed fewer animals with a vehicle than most people.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: That's a text message from Lynn. I had friends who
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: got hit by a horse. A truck going the other
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: direction hit it, which set it flying airborne into their
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: hood and into their windshields.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: That is yeah, that's lucky that they are alive.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: Helen Wise reminds us all that black cows do not
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: carry reflectors and out on them Texas roads in the middle
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: of the night see them black angus. A lot of
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: people breed them, and if one happens to get out, yeah,
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: that is a that's like a boulder in the middle
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: of the road. People have mentioned that they have taken
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: I've never been a situation where I've taken out a hog.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: A hog is actually my biggest fear because similar to
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: the cow, dead black animal, middle of the night, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: those things are monsters.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: When I was working for the motorcycle dealership here in town,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: we had on a couple of occasions people come in
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: having hit deer and hogs. And what it does to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a motorcycle bike, Yeah, what it does to a motorcyclist,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it's extraordinary bike. Yeah.
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: The problem with hogs too is my brother hit won
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: a couple of years ago and it went up underneath
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: the truck and it almost caused him to flip because
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: they can go they'll roll unneath your cars if there
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: are a certain size. And when he hit his hog,
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: it was in a group of three, so he hit
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: three at one time, not one.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: He took out three, yes, because they ran.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: Out in the middle of the road and he's going
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: down the highway.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And he's like, Mama, daddy, baby.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: No, No, they were not mama and baby.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: There all nice or somebody's mama and baby nice sized hogs.
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: Texas if you got the store.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the wta W newsroom. I'm will welch.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: The first day of public comment on the State Board
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of Educations proposed mandate to teach Bible studies in public
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: school classrooms drew nearly five hundred people.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Students deserve historical accuracy, not political indoctrination.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Public educations anyte students.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: To explore many perspectives, not require that one perspective take
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: presidents over the rest.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: The Bible is appropriate in this list of literary requirements,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: the history is crucial component.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: The State Board of Education is slated to take a
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: final vote this Friday. July ninth is the first opportunity
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: for around fifteen hundred employees in College Station ISD to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: learn more about their new health insurance provider. That's after
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the school board last week changed from Blue Cross Blue
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Shield of Texas to Baylor Scott and White. Board members
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: were told the switch will save employees between eighty seven
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and four hundred and fifty five dollars a month, depending
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: on the plan. Csisd's health insurance consultant, Ross Gunnals of
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and Co Insurance said the dollar amount of claims Blue
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Cross paid last year was nine percent above the revenue
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: they received from CSISD employees. The largest number of Blue
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Cross claims was related to diabetes, which Gunnell says. Scott
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and White has an option where there is a zero
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: dollar Copey.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And as we see with diabetes management, when people defer
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: care don't take their insulin, that condition gets out of control.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: And what happens is the claims go up. Therefore the
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: district gets off larger premium increase at their renewal.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Another factor, which Gunnals calls a political football, is the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: price of prescription drugs.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Lots of specialty mens out there five, ten, fifteen thousand
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: a month. If you see a commercial on TV at night,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I can guarantee you google the drug. It's expensive.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Gunnell says as many as one fourth of CSISD employees
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: will have to switch providers from the Saint Joseph to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the Baylor, Scott and White Network. Brian HSD school board
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: members agreed to go through a different process to replace
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: mechanical equipment. Deputy Superintendent Brian Merrill's recommendation was unanimously approved
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: at the last board meeting to pay for replacing air
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: conditioning chillers with bond money from twenty twenty instead of
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: last year. Merrill also said to meet the deadline to
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: spend bond money from six years ago. The purchase will
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: be done through a cooperative instead of through competitive bids.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Basically, what it does. At the beginning of the year,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: we join these interlocal agreements, and they've gone ahead and
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: put forth their best price for the following services or items.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: The timeliness of it allows us to get the dollars
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: sped before that August timeline.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: The Chiller replacements are taking place at Navarro, Johnson, Houston, Crockett,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and Bonham Elementaries. The Texas Tribune reports, in the first
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: five months, a new state office reviewed sixty nine complaints
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: of banded DEI initiatives and related activities at state universities
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and colleges. All but one were closed without being investigated.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: State Representative and Aggie Brian Harrison of Waxahachi, who contributed
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to the force resignation of former Texas and in President
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Mark Welsh, accused his fellow Republicans of ignoring one of
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the party's priorities.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: That's one of the countless examples of Republican Texas government.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: Doing nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Records obtained by the Texas Tribune did not identify any
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: universities or colleges. The one complaint that was under investigation
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: by the Texas on Budsman as of June eleventh, involved
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: a student who said he is fired as an instructor
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: after raising concerns that an academic assistance program violated the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: state's dei ban. College station residents have until July thirteenth
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to let the city know what they think of staff
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: plans to spend three and a half million dollars in
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: federal community development grant money next year. Rainy Whitwell of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the city's Community Development Office told the city council at
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: their last meeting that the most common recipients are those
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: meeting income guidelines.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: If you're a household of for you can make up
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: to seventy seven, eight hundred and fifty dollars and still
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: qualify to use our programs.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Recipients can also qualify by what Whitwell describes as being
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: part of a limited clientele that would.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Include abuse children, elderly persons, battered spouses, homeless persons, or
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: severely disabled adults.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: A third option is to live in a neighborhood that
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: qualifies having enough low and moderate income residents.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Currently, we have about thirty percent of the city that
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: is classified as low to moderate income, and in order
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: to be classified that way, the census track must be
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: at or above fifty one percent of the area meet
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: in income.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: The College Station City Council is scheduled to take final
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: action on the two hundred and six page draft plan
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: on July twenty third. A committee appointed at the last
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Brass County Commission meeting has more than fifty people. After
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the initial reaction from Commissioner Fred Brown that there was
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: going to be a train wreck, County Judge Dwayne Peters
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: explained that only nine serve at a time. When an
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: elected official appeals their salary, they.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Will be picked in the order that they were picked
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: in and if somebody can't serve, then that's you just
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: keep on moving down the list.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Peters went on to explain how state law works when
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: an elected official appeals their salary.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: If that committee were to vote nine to zero to
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: give that elected official a rage, the court doesn't have
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: any say show about it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: They automatically get the raise.
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: If they vote eight to one, then it comes back
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: to the court and the Court and gets to decide
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: whether we want to give it or not, and if
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: it's seven or less, it doesn't come back.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: The list of committee members was unanimously approved. More news
