📰 News we're reading

• Sales tax growth continues for some Waco-area cities, others see drops (star-telegram.com) — McGregor’s latest sales tax rebate dropped 35% from last December, and year-to-date collections are running about a quarter behind last year as major industrial construction has paused. While nearby cities like Waco and Robinson are seeing strong gains, McGregor’s softer numbers could affect local budgets and services if the trend continues into the new year.
