Construction begins on Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center expansion
SUMMARY: Dallas has begun a $3.7 billion expansion and revitalization project for the K Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. Approved in 2022 through a hotel tax, the project aims to transform the aging facility, benefiting downtown Dallas's economy and residents. The master plan, over three years in development, will involve phased demolitions and modifications, ensuring the center remains functional and revenue-generating. The new design will also support an anticipated additional demand for 3,500-4,000 hotel rooms, enhance pedestrian-friendly spaces, and include more greenery. Jennifer Scripps, CEO of Downtown Dallas Inc., describes the project as a “Game Changer” boosting local businesses and visitor experiences.
As redevelopment projects go, this is one of the largest the city of Dallas has ever seen.

Hurricane Beryl: Is it going to hit Texas?
SUMMARY: Hurricane Barrel, a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds, made landfall in the Windward Islands early this morning, impacting Grenada and St. Vincent. Now entering the Caribbean, the storm is projected to move westward, potentially reaching the Yucatan Peninsula by the weekend. Barrel has already broken several records: it’s the strongest June hurricane on record, the earliest Category 4 hurricane, and the most intense storm to ever hit the Windward Islands. As the storm progresses, it is expected to weaken due to wind shear before impacting Northern Mexico or Southern Texas. Meanwhile, there’s an update on Invest 96L, which has a 60% chance of development.
FOX 4 meteorologist Dylan Federico is tracking Hurricane Beryl as it moves toward Mexico. Take a look at the possible paths, including the chance that it could move toward Texas.

SCOTUS Decision: Did Trump get immunity?
SUMMARY: The US Supreme Court has ruled on whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. In his opinion, Chief Justice Roberts categorized potential actions into four “buckets” to determine if they're prosecutable. Official actions, such as discussions with Justice Department lawyers, are off-limits, while individual actions, like speaking at the January 6th rally, are prosecutable. Gray areas, like conversations with non-government attorneys, require further scrutiny. The ruling makes it harder to prosecute a former president by setting a high threshold of conditions and standards, outlining a complex legal framework for future cases.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in a case that weighs whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Long story short, the book is not closed. Constitutional law attorney David Coale joined Good Day to take a closer look at the decision.

Avoiding injuries with fireworks
SUMMARY: The Fourth of July fireworks, a cherished American tradition, can be hazardous if not handled safely. A report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reveals eight deaths and nearly 9,700 emergency room visits from fireworks-related injuries last year. Young teens (15-19) and children (5-9) were the most affected. Dr. David Persse, Chief Medical Officer for Houston, advises constant adult supervision, using a competent and attentive adult, and having water handy. For serious injuries, keep foreign objects in place and call 911. Dr. Persse suggests public fireworks shows like Houston’s “Freedom Over Texas” as safe alternatives.
Chief medical officer for the City of Houston, Dr. David Persse, shares what to do if your celebration ends up in an emergency situation.
