Texas Senate OKs plan to restrict abortion insurance
The Republican controlled Texas Senate approved a measure to restrict abortion coverage with no rape or incest exceptions, forcing some women to buy separate insurance for elective abortions. Supporters call it economic freedom while opponents warn it harms victims and could lead to inadequate coverage. The bill, backed by Gov. Abbott, moves toward final passage.

County weighs tax rate hearings and county salary review
The city plans public hearings August 22 and September 12 to discuss the proposed tax rate. If a rate increase is proposed, it would likely stay below the 2007 level of 40 cents. County Attorney Dusty Gallivan proposes a committee to review the county salary structure citing a failing step system. The panel would include HR, auditors, a department head and a commissioner and aim to craft a reform plan.
