Second public meeting to be held for Bryan Inner Loop East Study
BRYAN, Texas (FOX 44) – A second public meeting will be held for the Inner Loop East Study in Bryan on Tuesday.
According to the Office of the Brazos County Judge, the Inner Loop East Study Team is looking to share information and collect input on the updated study area, refined alignment concepts, traffic modeling, and the next steps which need to be taken. The next meeting will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Legends Event Center, located at 2533 Midtown Park Boulevard.
No formal presentation is planned. Community members are invited to come and go at their convenience. Meeting materials will be available online here on Tuesday.
The Office of the Judge says at the first public meeting in November 2024, the study team shared information on the study background, the need and purpose of the proposed roadway, environmental considerations, proposed roadway configuration, and six alignment concepts for public and property owner feedback. This meeting had over 600 attendees and over 1,300 comments. Based on feedback and additional environmental studies, the team adjusted the original study area to find ways to reduce the number of impacts to property owners and existing home sites.
Killeen Florence Road lane closure planned through May 9
Since then, the team has been working through additional environmental studies and meeting with property owners within the adjusted study area to inform them of the change and share updates.
The Office of the Judge says working with the community and property owners is a priority for the County and the Study Team.

Ziebart Celebrates Two Remarkable Dads as Winners of "Detail for Dad" Father's Day Contest
Aftermarket Automotive Brand Recognizes Michael Gray and Bob P. with Complimentary Detailing and Inner-Guard® Plus Packages TROY, Mich., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This Father's Day, Ziebart, the brand fondly known as the "dad of the automotive industry," is putting the spotlight on two incredible fathers: Michael Gray of Magnolia, Illinois, and Bob P. of the Rochester, New York area. These two men were selected as winners of Ziebart's first-ever "Detail for Dad" contest, receiving a full Interior and Exterior Detailing package complete with Inner-Guard® Plus – a deluxe service designed to keep vehicles looking showroom-new, inside and out About the ContestLaunched in May to recognize dads who go above and beyond, Ziebart's first-ever "Detail for Dad" contest invited participants to submit short essays explaining why their dad or father-figure deserved the ultimate car makeover. More than 200 dads were submitted for consideration, with entries celebrating fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and even fathers nominating their own sons. Entries were evaluated on creativity, sincerity, and heart. "Dads are often the unsung heroes who quietly give their all to their families, including their vehicles, which usually take the brunt of everyday life," said Thomas A. Wolfe, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ziebart. "We created this contest as a way to give back and show appreciation for the love, effort, and sacrifice these men demonstrate every day. Michael and Bob exemplify everything this contest was meant to celebrate." Meet the WinnersNominated by his daughter Rachel, Michael Gray is a single father who stepped into both parenting roles when Rachel was just 3 years old. She describes her dad as someone who always puts his family first even if that means his own needs, and his truck, come last. Rachel writes: "He is always putting his kids' needs first before his own. Unfortunately, that puts him last on his own list. I wanted to nominate the best Dad ever because his truck is an all-around family truck. Therefore, it is literally used for everything." From chauffeuring their four pets to the vet, to taking kids bargain hunting, and of course, sharing life lessons wrapped in humor, Rachel says her dad has done it all from the seat of that truck, which is now set for an overdue makeover. Bob P., nominated by his daughter Paige, is a nearly 80-year-old disabled Vietnam combat veteran and a retired longtime educator with an inspiring do-it-yourself spirit, particularly when it comes to anything related to construction or car maintenance. Paige writes: "I think my dad Bob deserves a clean car due to his ability to still do amazing things at an advanced age! ... He is currently building a house for my mom and his truck is a disaster of Lowe's debris." The winners each receive a complimentary Ziebart Interior and Exterior Detailing, complete with Inner-Guard® Plus a prize valued at $629.97, that aims to bring even the messiest "dad mobile" back to life. Both Michael and Bob will be receiving their automotive makeovers in the coming weeks, with appointments currently being scheduled at their nearest Ziebart locations.

Jay Peak's president talks tariffs at U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON, D.C. (ABC22/FOX44) – 'If I start escalating costs to Canadians at the same time we're continuing to whack them with this reckless narrative about their sovereignty, I'm going to lose half of my business.' Vermont Senator Peter Welch on Wednesday brought Steve Wright, president and general manager of the Jay Peak ski resort, to a forum on the impact of recent tariffs on tourism, farming, and manufacturing industries. The forum was hosted by senators Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, and attended by 11 senators, all members of the Democratic Party. Canadians call off Vermont vacations over Trump policies President Donald Trump has said that tariffs can be an effective way to negotiate. The official White House website says, 'tariffs would create new incentives for US consumers to buy US-made products.' However, Wright warned about a 'catastrophic amount of trouble' caused by Canadians' unwillingness to spend money in the U.S. Wright's remarks focused on the impact of statements like Trump's suggestion in February that Canada become the country's '51st state', but he also talked about the higher prices he has seen as a result, citing a purchase of a new chairlift that abruptly increased in price by up to 50 percent. Vermont and North Country leaders on Trump's 'trade war' with Canada 'We are curious as to when the upside of this anti-Canadian rhetoric starts to present itself,' said Wright, 'because… along the northern border, we are presently living right in the middle of its downside.'

Vermont signs Kids Code into law, faces legal challenges
MONTPELIER, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – One of the ten bills Vermont Governor Phil Scott signed Thursday has the goal of making Vermont children safer online. The bill faces challenges in court, but its supporters say it is necessary in a rapidly changing world. Senate Bill 69, known as the Vermont Kids Code, aims to protect kids from 'abusive' practices of social media companies. Governor Phil Scott, in his statement on signing the bill, said, 'As we see more and more kids using technology, I believe most would agree we need to take steps to protect them in a reasonable and responsible way when they're online.' ACLU Vermont releases statement following Scott's hotel-motel transition bill veto Among other provisions, the bill prohibits companies from selling children's data, keeps parents and other adults from secretly using apps to track kids, and making it so adults cannot message children without their explicit and unambiguous assent. It also says that social media companies must have push notifications disabled by default on children's accounts. Read the full text of the bill hereDownload Other states have recently passed similar laws, such as Maryland's Kids Code and California's Age-Appropriate Design Code. They have faced lawsuits on free speech grounds, with judges blocking enforcement of the laws until litigation is resolved. NetChoice, the advocacy group behind those lawsuits, says the goal to protect children is just an excuse to police speech online. Bus 'totaled' after catching fire in Mount Holly 'An unconstitutional law will not keep anyone safe,' said NetChoice vice president Carl Szabo about the Maryland law. Scott referenced the current legal struggles in his statement, saying, 'With ongoing lawsuits in other states, I recognize this new law will likely face a legal challenge. But I'm hopeful with the enactment of this law delayed until January 1, 2027, it will allow enough time to provide clarity and change the law if necessary.' Kaitlynn Cherry, a youth advocate from Sunderland, said Vermont needs to be proactive. 'Our future selves will thank us when we have safety, privacy, and autonomy in our digital experiences.'
