Shelly Powell+FollowEl Paso tax bills rising even with lower ratesEven though El Paso’s property tax rates dropped a bit, most homeowners will still see higher bills this fall. That’s because home values keep climbing, so the average household will pay about $7 more a month to the city and $11 more a month to the county. City leaders say the extra money is going toward things like police, fire, and parks—top priorities for many locals. On the bright side, seniors and people with disabilities get a bigger exemption, saving them around $342 a year. How do you feel about paying more for these services? #RealEstate #ElPaso #PropertyTax00Share

The zoo’s team, along with a veterinary neurologist, took him to the Hospitals of Providence for a late-night scan. Early results look promising, and Hodari is already on the mend. It’s amazing to see our city’s animal care go to such lengths for their residents. What do you think about animals getting the same advanced medical care as people? #Pets #ElPaso #ZooNews10Share
Sean Clark+FollowWhy are El Paso drivers obsessed with high beams?Every morning on Scenic Drive, it feels like half of El Paso is trying to blind each other with their high beams. It’s not just a Scenic thing, either—those brights are everywhere, from Mesa to I-10, even on well-lit streets. Texas law says you have to dim your high beams within 500 feet of oncoming traffic, but it seems like a lot of folks missed the memo. Using high beams in the city isn’t just annoying—it’s dangerous and inconsiderate. Let’s look out for each other: switch to low beams when you see another car. Is this a growing problem in your neighborhood too? #Transportation #ElPaso #DrivingEtiquette00Share
Marcia Hamilton+FollowEl Paso libraries now help feed local petsEl Paso’s libraries just became a lifeline for families with pets. With local shelters packed and budgets stretched, the new Public Pet Pantry program means anyone can pick up free pet food and supplies at any library branch—no questions asked. It’s a simple, neighborly way to keep pets at home and out of overcrowded shelters. If you want to help, you can drop off sealed food, treats, or litter at your nearest library. This small act could mean the difference between a pet staying with their family or ending up in a shelter. How do you think this will change our community? #Safety #ElPaso #PetPantry00Share
