Speaker 1: News is presented by Gilmour Electric Express, voted best electrician
0:06
Speaker 1: of the Brasses Valley for home electrical service. Don't settle
0:09
Speaker 1: for less, called Gilmore Electric Express at nine seven nine
0:13
Speaker 1: seven seven light. Good morning from the WTAW Newsroom. I'm
0:18
Speaker 1: will welch. Around fifteen hundred College Station ISSD employees are
0:23
Speaker 1: again dealing with a new provider of health insurance. Price
0:26
Speaker 1: was the driving factor in last week's school board decision.
0:29
Speaker 1: Changing to Baylor, Scott and White starting September first, was
0:33
Speaker 1: going to save between eighty seven and four hundred and
0:35
Speaker 1: fifty five dollars a month, depending on the plan, compared
0:38
Speaker 1: with staying with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Csisd's consultant,
0:43
Speaker 1: Ross Gunnals of and Co Insurance said it was not
0:45
Speaker 1: financially possible to offer employees a choice of both companies.
0:49
Speaker 2: You would think an employer with roughly fifteen hundred people
0:52
Speaker 2: enrolled would have the ability to do that, But in
0:54
Speaker 2: these fids, the carrier assumes a certain participation rate, and
0:58
Speaker 2: so if you cut into that, both care are going
1:00
Speaker 2: to assume the worse and they're going to assume at
1:03
Speaker 2: verse risk, and they're going to all raise their rates
1:05
Speaker 2: up to where it's not affordable in either option.
1:08
Speaker 1: CSISD board members were told Blue Cross was raising their
1:11
Speaker 1: rates twenty eight percent because the dollar amount of claims
1:14
Speaker 1: they paid last year was nine percent above the revenue
1:17
Speaker 1: they received from CSISD employees. Brian ISD school board members
1:22
Speaker 1: decided to pay for replacing air conditioning chillers at five
1:25
Speaker 1: elementary schools with bond money approved by voters in twenty
1:28
Speaker 1: twenty instead of last Novembers bond issue. Recommendations from Deputy
1:33
Speaker 1: Superintendent Brian Merrill also included making the purchase through a
1:36
Speaker 1: cooperative instead of seeking bids. That's in order to meet
1:40
Speaker 1: an August deadline to spend the bond money from six
1:43
Speaker 1: years ago.
1:43
Speaker 3: So we're going to say twenty twenty five items. Many
1:46
Speaker 3: of it is the mechanical engineering, plumbing technology, and we're
1:49
Speaker 3: going to move that forward and we're going to pay
1:51
Speaker 3: for it out of twenty twenty. But to do that,
1:53
Speaker 3: there's a ton limit on using bonds, and we want
1:56
Speaker 3: to make sure we always honor that.
1:58
Speaker 1: The budget was not announced to replace chillers at Bottom, Crockett, Houston, Johnson,
2:02
Speaker 1: and Navarro elementary schools. The city of College Station is
2:06
Speaker 1: in the middle of the public comment period about how
2:09
Speaker 1: more than three and a half million dollars in federal
2:11
Speaker 1: Community Development grant money will be spent next year.
2:14
Speaker 4: This process determine the most pressing need is affordable housing,
2:18
Speaker 4: while the biggest barrier was public transportation.
2:21
Speaker 1: Rainy Whitwell of the city's Community Development Office detailed the
2:25
Speaker 1: two hundred and six page draft at the last City
2:27
Speaker 1: Council meeting. The public comment period ends July thirteenth, and
2:31
Speaker 1: the council takes action on July twenty third. Grant restrictions
2:35
Speaker 1: are to benefit low and moderate income residents, aid in
2:38
Speaker 1: the elimination of slum and blight, and address an urgent
2:42
Speaker 1: community need. More than fifty people named to a brass
2:45
Speaker 1: county committee at the last County commission meeting left County
2:49
Speaker 1: Commissioner Fred Brown with questions, chich, I don't understand this.
2:52
Speaker 3: You know, Normally, if you've got ten people on a committee, it's.
2:57
Speaker 1: Hard to get aboy to agree to anything.
2:59
Speaker 3: But here we're going to have fifty people on a
3:02
Speaker 3: fifty plus people in the committee.
3:04
Speaker 1: That's going to be a train wreck. County Judge Dwayne
3:06
Speaker 1: Peters read off the names of those on the brasses
3:09
Speaker 1: County grand Jury who will also hear salary grievances filed
3:12
Speaker 1: by an elected official.
3:14
Speaker 5: Those are all off the grand jury. That's what that
3:17
Speaker 5: list of names. So those are grand jury and they
3:20
Speaker 5: can serve on salary, but only nine gets served.
3:23
Speaker 1: Peters says, if the grievance committee unanimously supports the elected official,
3:27
Speaker 1: then the commission must raise the salary. If the committee
3:30
Speaker 1: vote is eight to one, then the commission makes the decision.
3:33
Speaker 1: If there are two or more no votes, then the
3:36
Speaker 1: elected official loses the appeal. News is presented by Gilmour

5:12
Speaker 1: just a little sore, But I'm all right. A long drive.
5:15
Speaker 6: Recap the yeah, recap the amount that you guys were
5:17
Speaker 6: thirteen hundred miles thirteen hundred yeah miles.
5:21
Speaker 1: Yeah. Road Yeah, road trips. Road trips are a different animal,
5:24
Speaker 1: that's the thing.
5:25
Speaker 6: What were your takeaways from this, this experience of journeying
5:29
Speaker 6: across this fair country.
5:30
Speaker 1: Well, and it's not just not just you know, this
5:33
Speaker 1: particular trip. When I was a kid growing up, we
5:37
Speaker 1: got in her car. We would drive frequently to like Louisiana,
5:40
Speaker 1: and a couple of times we took longer car trips.
5:43
Speaker 1: I remember cramming five maybe six people in an osmobile
5:47
Speaker 1: touring sedan and driving to North Carolina for my uncle's
5:51
Speaker 1: wedding and not even stopping for lunch. You know. My
5:53
Speaker 1: mom would make sandwiches every day and uh we pack
5:57
Speaker 1: them in the old playmate cooler.
5:58
Speaker 6: Right, you stop the roadside. Aren't just passed sandwiches around? Yeah,
6:02
Speaker 6: that's how you do.
6:02
Speaker 1: That's not how it's done these days.
6:04
Speaker 8: How is it done today?
6:05
Speaker 1: Well, you got to plan your food stops right, uh,
6:08
Speaker 1: which I enjoyed because I'm I'm a food to eat. Yeah.
6:12
Speaker 1: But as far as like the creature comforts in the car,
6:15
Speaker 1: I mean, I when I was got in the car,
6:18
Speaker 1: I had a book in my eyes and that's that's
6:21
Speaker 1: what entertained me until I until the Mattel Pocket football
6:26
Speaker 1: game came out, and I did have that.
6:28
Speaker 8: So you just you just had to basically sit back there.
6:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was either you know, I used to call
6:33
Speaker 1: them quick spells. We would always go to my relatives
6:36
Speaker 1: in Yoakum, right, and I would try to fall asleep
6:38
Speaker 1: as soon as we got in the car, that's the goal.
6:40
Speaker 1: And have my parents wake me up when we got
6:43
Speaker 1: to La Grange because I loved what I called the
6:45
Speaker 1: winding road of the bluff there. Oh yeah, yeah, I
6:48
Speaker 1: always want to wake up for that. Driving with my
6:50
Speaker 1: family these days, first of all, everybody takes like every
6:54
Speaker 1: piece of bedding off of their bed and brings it
6:57
Speaker 1: with them, blankets, comfort pillows. I've seen this legitimately. I'm
7:03
Speaker 1: driving home on Sunday and I'm thinking to myself, it's
7:05
Speaker 1: it's a real challenge to drive from inside of a
7:08
Speaker 1: blanket fort.
7:09
Speaker 8: But no, why why the need for that many blankets.
7:13
Speaker 1: They sleep, They sleep.
7:15
Speaker 6: I don't know why, but do you really? I mean,
7:17
Speaker 6: because I would just you know, lay my head by
7:20
Speaker 6: the window.
7:21
Speaker 1: Out if you had an arm rest to stick your
7:23
Speaker 1: head on your lucky it's all you need. Did not
7:26
Speaker 1: have that.
7:26
Speaker 7: I'm the opsity all I bring like two blankets, I'll
7:29
Speaker 7: bring a pillow. Like when we traveled for track meets
7:32
Speaker 7: we had the nine or ten hour bus rides, I
7:34
Speaker 7: brought my whole bed riley.
7:36
Speaker 6: How did your bus look? Because again it's you and
7:38
Speaker 6: then the entire track team. Are all of all the
7:41
Speaker 6: others doing the same thing or is this just a
7:43
Speaker 6: youth thing?
7:43
Speaker 7: Yes, so all of us were doing the same thing.
7:45
Speaker 7: So we had two different buses bus and we each
7:48
Speaker 7: got our own row. And we had like those charter
7:51
Speaker 7: like buses. Oh yeah, depended on which one you got.
7:54
Speaker 7: Like honestly, the older ones were better to sleep on
7:56
Speaker 7: than the newer ones because the seat belt, you know
7:58
Speaker 7: where you click your seatbelt in, those would jam in
8:00
Speaker 7: your back.
8:01
Speaker 6: So you would you would Basically they had a seat
8:03
Speaker 6: for you and then a seat for all of your bedding.
8:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way it goes these days. Not even
8:09
Speaker 1: my daughter's cheer team, like the annual gifts you know
8:12
Speaker 1: that you give to cheerleaders, the group or whatever. Yeah,
8:15
Speaker 1: they got monogram blankets for the bus rides.
8:18
Speaker 7: Do you want to know how upgraded me and some
8:20
Speaker 7: of my teammates got. We got these things called dog
8:23
Speaker 7: beds for cars. And what it is is it clips
8:26
Speaker 7: on the back head rest of seats and it just
8:29
Speaker 7: holds you like a giant. I would say, what's it
8:31
Speaker 7: called a hammock? And so all you have to do
8:34
Speaker 7: is laying that and it doesn't move the whole trip.
8:36
Speaker 7: So you can lay on any part like you can
8:38
Speaker 7: lay in that space where your legs are supposed to go,
8:40
Speaker 7: because you can lay on the dog bed.
8:42
Speaker 8: You just put your head on the window.
8:44
Speaker 7: And yeah, and after doing that for like eight or
8:47
Speaker 7: nine hours, I get I would get cars sick doing
8:49
Speaker 7: that because I couldn't sleep sitting upright. And then also
8:52
Speaker 7: on top of that, I have teammates that they were
8:56
Speaker 7: not quiet, or they were constantly they would throw things
8:59
Speaker 7: across the bus, or they would be blaring their music
9:01
Speaker 7: or playing really just what you do noxious games. No,
9:05
Speaker 7: our coaches did not want us to do that.
9:07
Speaker 1: One of those kids, one.
9:08
Speaker 7: Of our kids. The guys was throwing a gatory bottle
9:11
Speaker 7: and it hit the back of the bus driver in
9:12
Speaker 7: the head.
9:13
Speaker 8: This is the problem.
9:14
Speaker 7: So they got in We got in trouble for it.
9:15
Speaker 8: This is the problem.
9:17
Speaker 6: They're the upside of traveling when you were a child
9:20
Speaker 6: is it taught you how to.
9:23
Speaker 1: To be by yourself at peace, sit and do nothing,
9:28
Speaker 1: and imagine and and and just silence, sit in silence.
9:32
Speaker 8: No one knows how to do that, No, and you
9:35
Speaker 8: had to. You know, it was difficult, but you had
9:37
Speaker 8: to do it. That's how you learned.
9:39
Speaker 1: Even on the long trips. I remember going to ski
9:42
Speaker 1: trips in my church youth group here. Yeah, you know,
9:44
Speaker 1: you take that long charter bus ride and until we
9:48
Speaker 1: actually one year we had these things called sleeper buses
9:51
Speaker 1: that the seats would fold out into into bunk beds,
9:55
Speaker 1: and they had they had video monitors on the bus
9:58
Speaker 1: and you could watch a VH tape. So that year
10:01
Speaker 1: we watched Lonesome Dove the whole way up there, which
10:04
Speaker 1: was cool. But before that we literally had like a
10:07
Speaker 1: notepad yeah uh, and you you would one guy started
10:12
Speaker 1: a story writing and he would pass it to the
10:14
Speaker 1: next person, and then that person would write for a
10:17
Speaker 1: while and then they would pass it on and go
10:19
Speaker 1: all the way around the boom. You have this incredible story. Incredible, No,
10:25
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen today.
10:26
Speaker 6: I want to know it from you guys. If you're listening,
10:29
Speaker 6: what what's because again road trip season? Yeah, what is
10:32
Speaker 6: what is the what is the entertainment in the road trip?
10:35
Speaker 1: Well? Adam Adam says that on his road trips, he
10:38
Speaker 1: wants his entire family to leave him alone and nap,
10:40
Speaker 1: so that there's now there there is some there's some
10:43
Speaker 1: relevance to that, right, But like I'm driving through and
10:46
Speaker 1: it just sort of happened driving through East Texas. We're
10:49
Speaker 1: passing through Linden, Texas, and it just so happened that
10:52
Speaker 1: an Eagles song came on my music streaming. Oh and
10:55
Speaker 1: I turned to everybody because I like to share useless knowledge,
10:58
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, Don Hintley is from here
11:00
Speaker 1: in Lindon, Texas. Nobody nobody's listening, nobody's paying attention. They
11:03
Speaker 1: didn't even hear because had the headphones in canceling.
11:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, the noise cancer.
11:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone puts into the noise canceling buds and that's
11:10
Speaker 6: that's I mean, maybe that's like Adam mentioned, maybe that's.
11:13
Speaker 1: What you want.
11:14
Speaker 8: You know.
11:14
Speaker 1: What really drives me nuts on the on the road trips, though,
11:16
Speaker 1: is the minute they get in the car with me,
11:18
Speaker 1: everybody takes their shoes off, right, which that's a given, Riley,
11:25
Speaker 1: In the event of an accident and your shoes are
11:27
Speaker 1: no longer where you put them, are you going to
11:29
Speaker 1: walk through the twisted metal and broken glass barefooted?
11:33
Speaker 7: I guess yes.
11:34
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not carrying you tote yourself.
11:39
Speaker 6: Basic sixteen twenty ninety four or five WTA W with
11:42
Speaker 6: Will Freedo and Riley We are talking about for road
11:45
Speaker 6: trip season. Yeah, we're we're asking you what you do
11:50
Speaker 6: in the car for road trip entertainment? Do you just
11:53
Speaker 6: let everybody put their noise canceling buds in, get under
11:57
Speaker 6: eight blankets and pass out there there's some advantage. I'm
12:02
Speaker 6: not saying any of these are wrong. I'm just saying,
12:04
Speaker 6: what do you do? Do you make them keep their
12:08
Speaker 6: shoes on? Because that's socially acceptable.
12:10
Speaker 1: I can't make it, make it happen for the shoes,
12:13
Speaker 1: but I suggest it strongly. And Chase just texted and
12:16
Speaker 1: he said he's with me on this one. Keep the
12:18
Speaker 1: shoes on in the car during the road trips. He's
12:20
Speaker 1: a firefighter. I'm prepared to the gills for what may
12:23
Speaker 1: come on my way to the destination. Not only do
12:25
Speaker 1: I have some protective things in the vehicle, yeah, also
12:29
Speaker 1: prepared medically for whatever may come my way. It's definitely
12:32
Speaker 1: a different generation.
12:34
Speaker 6: It's well, it's generations, but it's also doing that job.
12:36
Speaker 6: It's like if they did that job, you absolutely And that's.
12:39
Speaker 1: Part of the reason why I, you know, I've worked
12:42
Speaker 1: for a disaster preparedness and response organization. That's part of
12:46
Speaker 1: the reason we had Another Texter Joan texted and said,
12:50
Speaker 1: we played road trip bingo finding different plates of different states. Oh,
12:54
Speaker 1: and so we we have played that, and it was
12:57
Speaker 1: it was probably four or five years ago. I think
12:59
Speaker 1: we were headed to like the Redneck Riviera somewhere down
13:02
Speaker 1: on the Gulf Coast and we started playing look for
13:05
Speaker 1: license plates of different states than the one you're in.
13:08
Speaker 1: But we took it to the next level. The girls
13:10
Speaker 1: in the back seat decided that when you spotted a
13:13
Speaker 1: plate from a different state that you got to punch
13:16
Speaker 1: somebody randomly in the car.
13:19
Speaker 7: Heard of a game called stinger.
13:21
Speaker 1: Hey, no, we invented slug bugs.
13:23
Speaker 8: Let's say slugbugs by what stinger Still.
13:25
Speaker 7: Okay, so whenever you see a yellow car, yell stinger
13:28
Speaker 7: because obviously, like you know, it kind of happened around
13:30
Speaker 7: Transformers era. So you just just slug someone. So you
13:33
Speaker 7: just punch them every time you see a yellow car,
13:34
Speaker 7: it's called stinger.
13:35
Speaker 1: I'm all for this to an extent, right. Uh. It
13:39
Speaker 1: got to the point where my youngest daughter, I mentioned,
13:42
Speaker 1: she's very fit, she's very strong.
13:44
Speaker 8: Well yeah, that's the problem.
13:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she would knock them, but Jesus out of
13:47
Speaker 1: her sister, you know, And so we had to kind
13:49
Speaker 1: of tone it down just a little bit. But on
13:51
Speaker 1: this pass road trip and again we had both daughters
13:54
Speaker 1: and both of their boyfriends and we played that game.
14:00
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was a lot of fun.
14:02
Speaker 1: At that point I got to actually punch somebody because
14:05
Speaker 1: you can't hit your daughter, but you can hit their boyfriends.
14:07
Speaker 6: The one thing that bums me out a little bit is,
14:09
Speaker 6: and it is probably because I'm old now, the one
14:11
Speaker 6: thing that bums me out is that now everyone gets
14:14
Speaker 6: their own music, and everyone gets their own entertainment or whatever.
14:16
Speaker 8: And it's fine, it's cool.
14:19
Speaker 6: The reason that I love the music that I love
14:23
Speaker 6: to a great extent is because family road trips. Yes,
14:28
Speaker 6: and Dad got to control the stereo, so all the
14:33
Speaker 6: old stuff that I was listening to, which got me
14:37
Speaker 6: into a lot of the stuff of my age group
14:39
Speaker 6: and everything else like that. That entire experience is fueled
14:42
Speaker 6: from family road trips, which now you don't have. Now
14:45
Speaker 6: you don't have mine, because everyone's got their own stuff
14:48
Speaker 6: already in their ears.
14:49
Speaker 1: My youngest daughter's boyfriend is a budding musician. He actually
14:53
Speaker 1: he has some talent, that's right, but he has some
14:56
Speaker 1: tough and he's just kind of getting into it. And
14:58
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of times where I'm listening to
15:00
Speaker 1: something and I'm like, hey man, you really need to
15:03
Speaker 1: check this guy out. And what he's doing on guitar
15:05
Speaker 1: it's kind of similar to what you want to do.
15:07
Speaker 1: And I would say that, and then I'd look in
15:08
Speaker 1: the rearview mirror and.
15:11

16:24
Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom I'm will welch. The
16:29
Speaker 1: first day of public comment on the State Board of
16:31
Speaker 1: Education's proposed mandate to teach Bible studies in public school
16:35
Speaker 1: classrooms drew nearly five hundred people.
16:38
Speaker 9: Students deserve historical accuracy, not political indoctrination public.
16:43
Speaker 5: Educations and invite students to explore many perspectives, not require
16:46
Speaker 5: that one perspective to beevesidents over the rest.
16:48
Speaker 8: The Bible is appropriate. In this list of literary requirements,
16:51
Speaker 8: the history is crucial component.
16:53
Speaker 1: The State Board of Education is slated to take a
16:56
Speaker 1: final vote this Friday. July ninth is the first opportunity
17:00
Speaker 1: for around fifteen hundred employees in College Station ISSD to
17:03
Speaker 1: learn more about their new health insurance provider. That's after
17:06
Speaker 1: the school board last week changed from Blue Cross Blue
17:09
Speaker 1: Shield of Texas to Baylor Scott and White. Board members
17:12
Speaker 1: were told the switch will save employees between eighty seven
17:15
Speaker 1: and four hundred and fifty five dollars a month, depending
17:18
Speaker 1: on the plan. Csisd's health insurance consultant, Ross Gunnals of
17:23
Speaker 1: and Co Insurance said the dollar amount of claims Blue
17:26
Speaker 1: Cross paid last year was nine percent above the revenue
17:29
Speaker 1: they received from CSISD employees. The largest number of Blue
17:33
Speaker 1: Cross claims was related to diabetes, which Gunnell says Scott
17:36
Speaker 1: and White has an option where there is a zero
17:39
Speaker 1: dollar copey.
17:40
Speaker 2: And as we see with diabetes management, when people defer
17:43
Speaker 2: care don't take their insulin, that condition gets out of control.
17:47
Speaker 2: And what happens is the claims go up. Therefore the
17:50
Speaker 2: district gets a larger premium increase at their renewal.
17:53
Speaker 1: Another factor, which Gunnals calls a political football, is the
17:56
Speaker 1: price of prescription drugs.
17:59
Speaker 2: Watch a specialty out there, five ten, fifteen thousand a month.
18:03
Speaker 2: If you see a commercial on TV at night, I
18:05
Speaker 2: can guarantee you google the drug. It's expensive.
18:07
Speaker 1: Gunnell says as many as one fourth of CSISD employees
18:11
Speaker 1: will have to switch providers from the Saint Joseph to
18:14
Speaker 1: the Baylor, Scott and White network. Brian ISD school board
18:18
Speaker 1: members agreed to go through a different process to replace
18:21
Speaker 1: mechanical equipment. Deputy Superintendent Brian Merrill's recommendation was unanimously approved
18:26
Speaker 1: at the last board meeting to pay for replacing air
18:29
Speaker 1: conditioning chillers with bond money from twenty twenty instead of
18:33
Speaker 1: last year. Merrill also said to meet the deadline to
18:36
Speaker 1: spend bond money from six years ago. The purchase will
18:39
Speaker 1: be done through a cooperative instead of through competitive bids.
18:43
Speaker 3: Basically what it does. At the beginning of the year,
18:45
Speaker 3: we join these interlocal agreements and they've gone ahead and
18:49
Speaker 3: put forth their best price for the following services or items.
18:53
Speaker 3: The timeliness of it allows us to get the dollars
18:56
Speaker 3: spent before that August timeline.
18:58
Speaker 1: The Chiller replacements are taking place at Navarro, Johnson, Houston,
19:02
Speaker 1: Crockett and Bonham elementaries. The Texas Tribune reports, in the
19:06
Speaker 1: first five months, a new state office reviewed sixty nine
19:10
Speaker 1: complaints of banned DEI initiatives and related activities at state
19:14
Speaker 1: universities and colleges. All but one were closed without being investigated.
19:19
Speaker 1: State Representative and Aggie Brian Harrison of Waxahachi, who contributed
19:24
Speaker 1: to the force resignation of former Texas and In President
19:27
Speaker 1: Mark Welsh, accused his fellow Republicans of ignoring one of
19:31
Speaker 1: the party's priorities.
19:33
Speaker 6: That's one of the countless examples of Republican Texas government.
19:36
Speaker 8: Doing nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
19:39
Speaker 1: Records obtained by The Texas Tribune did not identify any
19:42
Speaker 1: universities or colleges. The one complaint that was under investigation
19:46
Speaker 1: by the Texas on Budsman as of June eleventh involved
19:49
Speaker 1: a student who said he was fired as an instructor
19:52
Speaker 1: after raising concerns that an academic assistance program violated the
19:57
Speaker 1: state's dei ban College station re residents have until July
20:01
Speaker 1: thirteenth to let the city know what they think of

20:27
Speaker 1: Recipients can also qualify by what Whitwell describes as being
20:31
Speaker 1: part of a limited.
20:32
Speaker 4: Clientele that would include abused children, elderly persons, battered spouses,
20:38
Speaker 4: homeless persons, or severely disabled adults.
20:42
Speaker 1: A third option is to live in a neighborhood that
20:44
Speaker 1: qualifies having enough low and moderate income residents.
20:48
Speaker 4: Currently, we have about thirty percent of the city that
20:50
Speaker 4: is classified as low to moderate income, and in order
20:54
Speaker 4: to be classified that way, the census track must be
20:57
Speaker 4: at or above fifty one percent of the area meet
21:00
Speaker 4: and income.
21:01
Speaker 1: The College Station City Council is scheduled to take final

Speaker 1: Brasis County Commission meeting has more than fifty people. After
21:14
Speaker 1: the initial reaction from Commissioner Fred Brown that there was
21:17
Speaker 1: going to be a train wreck, County Judge Dwayne Peters
21:20
Speaker 1: explained that only nine serve at a time. When an
21:23
Speaker 1: elected official appeals their salary.
21:26
Speaker 5: They will be picked in the order that they were
21:28
Speaker 5: picked in and if somebody can't serve, then that's you
21:32
Speaker 5: just keep on moving down the list.
21:34
Speaker 1: Peters went on to explain how state law works when
21:37
Speaker 1: an elected official appeals their salary.
21:40
Speaker 5: If that committee were to vote nine to zero to
21:44
Speaker 5: give that elected official a rage, the court doesn't have
21:48
Speaker 5: any say show about it. They automatically get the raise.
21:51
Speaker 5: If they vote eight to one, then it comes back
21:55
Speaker 5: to the court and the court gets to decide whether
21:58
Speaker 5: we want to give it or not. And if it's
22:01
Speaker 5: seven or list it doesn't come back.
22:04

23:03
Speaker 6: Before we get into this, you had a pretty good
23:05
Speaker 6: idea about a road trip innovation.
23:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I was thinking, we were talking about the
23:10
Speaker 1: road trip stuff, and the fact is that it kind
23:13
Speaker 1: of IRGs me that there's no conversations on road trips
23:16
Speaker 1: and yea, everybody's got their noise canceling headphones on. So
23:20
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, you know, maybe after like a
23:22
Speaker 1: stop or something, you implement a half hour of technology free,
23:27
Speaker 1: you know, give me thirty minutes of being off the technology,
23:31
Speaker 1: and then you can get back to doing whatever you're doing.
23:33
Speaker 8: I think that's brilliant.
23:34
Speaker 6: If I had kids, and you know, you go through
23:37
Speaker 6: the trouble of again going somewhere, taking a vacation, and
23:42
Speaker 6: you're missing all of that bonding time, and I get it.
23:44
Speaker 6: No one's trying to you know, that's a lot to
23:47
Speaker 6: ask to say, Hey, you know, just be together for
23:49
Speaker 6: eight ten hours at a time.
23:51
Speaker 8: Yeah, but yeah, just like little thirty minute increments.
23:54
Speaker 7: I feel like it would depend on the age of
23:56
Speaker 7: the kids though, Like if you have toddlers that are
23:59
Speaker 7: like four to six and they're really into like a movie,
24:02
Speaker 7: you have set up for him and they're being good,
24:05
Speaker 7: I feel like you would want to leave them in
24:07
Speaker 7: the zone.
24:07
Speaker 1: Yeah. I had that same thought as well. But in
24:10
Speaker 1: my situation where my daughters are now out of what
24:14
Speaker 1: you would consider to be the more difficult years in
24:17
Speaker 1: a parental relationship, exactly, I crave time with him now. Yeah,
24:21
Speaker 1: you know, I want that time in that conversation to
24:23
Speaker 1: connect because I don't get it much my oldest daughters.
24:25
Speaker 1: You know, she's here for the summer, but then she's
24:27
Speaker 1: off to college. My youngest daughter, even though she lives here,
24:31
Speaker 1: I see her, you know, about five hours a week
24:34
Speaker 1: because of her schedule.
24:35
Speaker 8: That's the whole point.
24:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, because if you don't get the why am I
24:37
Speaker 6: bothering going on vacation?
24:39
Speaker 1: Right?
24:39
Speaker 8: I mean sure when I get there, but like, yeah,
24:41
Speaker 8: I just I love that idea.
24:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want the whole time.
24:44
Speaker 6: Just give me a little nugget, all right, it's off

24:52
Speaker 6: player in the history of the Cup.

24:55
Speaker 1: I did not.
24:56
Speaker 8: He scored five goals in two games already.
25:00
Speaker 1: It's because he didn't play while he was here. Here's
25:02
Speaker 1: just as that sting like a little a lot. Not
25:07
Speaker 1: for me.
25:07
Speaker 7: I don't care that much, so I don't bother me.
25:10
