Volume 62, Edition 15, Monday, August 26, 2024 Our fantasy football league, entitled “Bud Jones League” just entered our 30th season with the draft yesterday. 1995 was also the last time the Cowboys won a Super Bowl, but that’s just a throw-a-way comment. Any who, I remember back when we used to rely on the Dallas Morning News box scores as the “final say” in our league. There was once a rule put in place that a person was not allowed to continue to play in our league unless they had an email address. It was actually written into the bylaws. Back in those early days, we used to try and listen to a fuzzy AM radio station to try and get real-time data on how many yards say Thurman Thomas had on the Westwood One radio broadcast that was somewhere signaled from Kansas or some such. With that being said, remember the fantasy football rule of thumb—no one cares about your fantasy team except you. So don’t go boring everyone around the water cooler about what your quarterback did or what trade you made. No one literally cares. Think of something else to talk about. I suggest the Marxist infiltration of America or MSNBC’s fair and balanced approach to news. On second thought, never mind all that.

Tax rate set by Howe ISD, city approves proposed rate At Monday’s Howe ISD Board of Trustees meeting, the board officially adopted a tax rate of $1.045 for every $100 of valuation which is $0.005 less than last year. Superintendent Kevin Wilson said they were hoping to lower the rate by a couple of cents but indicated that after consulting with their financial advisor, it was determined to manage current debt with future expansions coming with the
growth anticipated in the next couple of years.
On Tuesday, the Howe City Council approved a proposed tax rate of $0.534279 for every $100 of valuation. That figure is the Voter Approved rate. City Administrator Monte Walker told the council that the number was necessary due to failing infrastructure needs and upcoming water and sewer expansion projects.
