Hey there, neighbor! Yesterday was quite a day in Abilene, with some important news that’s sure to impact our community. Bishop Michael Sis of the West Texas diocese made headlines by standing in solidarity with DACA recipients after a recent court ruling. With nearly 90,000 Texans affected, it’s a big deal for many families here in the Big Country. The bishop’s support reflects a strong commitment to compassion and community, reminding us all of the diverse stories woven into the fabric of our town.
In the realm of local crime news, things took a serious turn with reports of a student allegedly assaulting another student. The Abilene Police Department shared details from their investigation, and while it’s disheartening to hear these incidents happen, it’s vital for us to stay informed about safety in our schools. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in looking out for one another, especially in our younger generation.
On a brighter note, many folks in Taylor County were buzzing about the recent approval of the Tax Ratification Elections (VATRE) in two school districts. This decision will help fund essential programs and resources for our schools, which is something we can all get behind. It’s fantastic to see the community come together to support education and the future of our kids, and it just goes to show how much we value our local schools.
Lastly, if you’re a true crime fan, you might want to keep an eye out for the upcoming podcast series titled “Cross Examined.” This series will delve into the complex case of Clifton Charles Russell, Jr., and it’ll be exclusive to the KTAB+ app and BigCountryHomepage.com. It’s always fascinating to see how these stories unfold, and I’m sure it’ll spark some interesting conversations around town!
