Council Meeting Recap
Bryan City Council just greenlit a $5 million chunk of change to buy a fresh fleet of vehicles and picked Pete Bienski to run the BTU board for the next year. It's a hefty price tag for city wheels, but standard administrative business for the local utility.
Council Vacancy
The city council is getting closer to filling the empty Place 3 seat by narrowing down the list of candidates. This means a new voice will soon be joining the local government to help make decisions for your neighborhood.
Election Security
Brazos County officials decided not to bring back the early-voting site at Texas A&M, forcing thousands of students and staff to travel off-campus to cast their ballots. It’s a major accessibility hurdle that could significantly lower turnout for the university community this election cycle.
