Migratory bird rescue and fire ant alert in Midland area
A federal wildlife agent recovered more than ten migratory birds from two oil tanks southeast of Midland while planning charges against tank owners. Separately, the imported fire ant was found at the Ector County Coliseum, posing crop and sting risks across the region. County officials postponed Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Manuel Valles’s drunken driving trial due to scheduling conflicts. The Midland County Hospital District approved a 20 percent ad valorem tax hike to fund hospital costs, with a public hearing set for August 22.
