ODESSA—The school district here prefers to run its operational and capital improvement levies on an annual basis instead of on a two-or-three year basis. This year, there’s a third levy to raise funds for a new school bus facing district voters in a special election Tuesday, Feb. 14. “Typically, here they’ve done a yearly levy,” superintendent John Bruce said. “If it’s on a two-year or three-year basis…that doesn’t account for inflation.” This year the first ask to voters is to pass an educational programs and operat...

SPRAGUE—The school district here needs funds to continue providing the services it presently does, and is counting on the will of the voters to provide that money through a replacement levy on the ballot in the Feb. 14 special election. The two-year levy will collect $215,000 each in 2024 and 2025, which is an increase from the $195,000 being collected annually on the present levy.

HARRINGTON-Mayor Jess Silhan said all the hard work the city has accomplished would be rewarded in the New Year at an annual mayor and media meeting with The Record-Times this week.

Oh those caravans of invaders coming across the Southern Border. We must deal with them by sending them back to fix their countries of origin; leaving them to suffer and be harassed at the border; and/or transporting them to Democratically-run cities in the north where it is freezing cold, and they know no one.

Meanwhile, there is a labor shortage – older people are not working to full retirement age of 70; others are not interested in jobs that are not suitable because of hours...
