Seagraves Council Faces Home Beauty Shop Dilemma
The Seagraves city council meets in a special session to decide whether to keep the current home beauty shop ban or amend zoning rules after District Judge Bean gave 30 days to act. The ruling follows a suit by 12 homeowners alleging violations and property value harm. A second report notes the death of Charles Yocum, 24, electrocuted while moving a 13 000 volt line near an interchange on the Brownfield Seagraves Highway. Survivors include his wife and several family members. The council weighs writs of mandamus versus ordinance amendments, amid homeowner anger and discrimination fears.
