North Carolina based Power Curbers is breaking even after shedding 35 percent of its workforce to about 80. Owner Duke Messinger will not cut further until new orders arrive as the economy shows slow recovery. Across the nation, July job losses totaled 247,000 while small business hiring remains weak.

City approves rate hikes and new fees amid budget squeeze
The Odessa City Council authorized a federal storm water discharge fee adding 1.85 to most utilities, and a 5.6 percent Atmos Energy gas rate rise boosting the typical bill by 4.06 monthly. Council backed property tax valuation changes, governance for electronic billboards, updated codes, and grants. Velasquez opposed the fee as too costly. Goates defended broad impact.
