Richard Moczygemba, 22, is in stable condition at University Hospital after a Friday accident on a Stockdale hay field. While untangling baler twine with the machine running, he slipped and was drawn into the baler, receiving head and upper body injuries and was airlifted for treatment.
Wilson County Deputy Gutierrez stopped two Floresville men on June 8 after a tip about suspicious persons. Angel Rangel 18 and a juvenile were found with a chain saw stolen from a building near FM 539. They were charged with burglary of a building, a state jail felony.
Floresville meeting last Thursday saw council members amid sharp public scrutiny over a seven percent hotel tax for a Wilson County visitors center and a proposed land deal for a municipal golf course and park. Activist Debbie Bolf criticized the contract as one sided, while Alderman Doug Henke noted city negotiators. Petitioners with 266 signatures urged a voter election on funding the recreational project via revenue bonds rather than certificates of obligation.
The city prefers certificates of obligation due to tax backing and better rates than revenue bonds, though COs allow bondholders to seek repayment from city if a project fails. Revenue bonds like those for FELPS rely on project income. Council approved Rudy Rodriguez for the Economic Development Corporation board, replacing resigning Chris Trevisio.
