Skatepark Update from Shanda Hope

Thu, 07/08/2021 - 12:00am

My husband and I had the idea of having a skate park built here in Olney after visiting the Mineral Wells Skate Park. It was so awesome to watch all the kids of different ages and talents out there. Their skate park is in their city park included in everything. We could see kids skateboarding, a birthday party going on at their picnic tables, and children playing at the playground. We want that for OUR park! I can imagine kids getting hot skateboarding in the summer and going over to the city pool to swim. With the recent upgrades to our city park, I can see families with different aged children coming to the park and having something to do for the whole family.

“Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].”

Arrington: Legislation to end ‘Double Dipping’ of Disability and Unemployment Insurance

Thu, 07/01/2021 - 12:00am

WASHINGTON, DC— Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) reintroduced legislation that would eliminate government waste by preventing individuals from receiving both Social Security Disability Benefits and Unemployment Benefits at the same time, so that Disability Insurance is preserved for those who truly cannot work, ending the fiscally irresponsible practice of “double dipping.” The bill H.R. 3971 will ensure that individuals who are able to work and receiving temporary unemployment assistance are not also eligible to collect Social Security benefits that are reserved for disabled individuals who are unable to work.
