Dallas City Council concerned over underperformance of the police, fire pension fund
SUMMARY: The Dallas City Council is set to vote within two months on a plan to secure funding and stabilize the Dallas Police and Fire pension fund. A council member raised concerns about the fund's underperformance. Following a $7.5 billion shortfall in 2016 due to poor real estate investments, the city needs $11 billion over 30 years to stabilize the fund. Despite changes in 2017, the fund's returns are still below national and Texas averages. Increased oversight is recommended, and the consulting firm Commerce Street Investments is expected to provide insights. The pension fund has sold $1.4 billion in bad assets but still has problematic investments.
It turns out the sins of the past are continuing to haunt the pension fund today, causing the fund's return to remain well below the national and Texas average.

Anthony Yanez concerned as Hurricane Beryl keeps moving right
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Anthony provides an update on Hurricane Barrel, which is nearing northern Mexico with a well-defined eye, moving West Northwest at 15 mph and winds at 65 mph. Expected to intensify, it’s shifting rightward, affecting Corpus Christi less and potentially hitting Matagorda Bay directly by Monday. A hurricane watch is in effect from Matagorda County to South Texas, with storm surges from three to five feet. Concerns stem from potential rightward movement towards Southeast Texas, not stalling like Harvey in 2017. Models show varying impacts, but significant rainfall (up to 7 inches) is expected in Southeast Texas, with flooding risks on Monday and Tuesday.

When will Hurricane Beryl hit Texas?
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Ali Terano reports that the storm system Barrel is headed towards Texas, expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm. Over the next 24-36 hours, it may intensify to Hurricane strength by Sunday night. The storm’s track has shifted eastward, with landfall now anticipated near Corpus Christi on Monday afternoon, potentially as a strong Category 1 or borderline Category 2 hurricane. The storm could bring 5-10 inches of rain, with isolated areas seeing over a foot, particularly impacting East and Southeast Texas. Warm Gulf waters and favorable conditions will likely aid the storm’s intensification. Residents should closely monitor updates.

SUMMARY: An East Texas couple, Autumn Maoy and DJ Spangler, are eagerly counting down to their wedding after a unique journey that began with a blind date photo shoot. Their story started when they participated in a session organized by Anita, owner of Sweet Day Photography, where they met as blindfolded strangers. Upon removing the blindfolds, DJ felt an instant connection, knowing Autumn was the one. Their relationship, now nearly a year long, led to DJ proposing at Lake Tyler, where their love story began. The couple hopes their experience inspires others to step outside their comfort zones. Their wedding is planned for November.
