Heads up RGV travelers ✈️
The FAA has announced flight capacity reductions in 40 markets, including major hubs like Dallas (DFW/DAL) and Houston (IAH/HOU), starting today, November 7, due to the federal government shutdown. While both the Brownsville (BRO) and Harlingen (VIA) airports report that they are fully staffed and under normal operations, these national reductions will likely impact connecting flights. All passengers are strongly advised to contact their airline directly or continuously monitor their airline's website or app for the most up to date and accurate information regarding their flight status.

Last night, voters across the RGV sent a clear message by rejecting major school bond packages in Brownsville, PSJA, and Rio Grande City.
This is a major shift from what used to be a "clear win" for school districts. For decades, school bonds in Texas had a 70-80% pass rate. They were seen as a routine, necessary investment in growing communities.
The era of school bonds being a "sure thing" is over. Last night's RGV results are the latest and clearest sign of this new reality.
What do you think is the biggest reason for this shift?
