SUMMARY: Dripping Springs was designated as Texas' first “dark sky” community in 2014 by DarkSky International, focusing on minimizing light pollution. The Oak Hill Parkway project, a transportation project in the area, has raised concerns about its impact on the dark sky designation. While the project is not part of a dark sky community, it includes lighting standards to minimize light pollution. Dark sky communities must meet criteria to maintain their designation, such as outreach efforts and using dark sky-compliant lighting. This environmentally-conscious approach is also being implemented in other transportation projects by TxDOT, including using LED neighborhood-friendly lighting.

SUMMARY: President Joe Biden affirmed his commitment to the presidential race during a meeting with campaign staff, despite discussions about his debate performance against former President Donald Trump, which was attributed to illness and travel fatigue.

The Boston Globe and New York Times have called for Biden to step aside in favor of other candidates, while The Washington Post reported Trump's campaign hopes Biden remains, believing Trump can defeat him. Biden maintains support from key Democrats, though concerns persist as the November election approaches.
