Today's riddle: Why are crows so alert and curious? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Conroe adopts $389.9M budget with police raises and Flock cameras (communityimpact.com) — Conroe residents face a newly adopted $389.9 million city budget that boosts police pay, keeps the property tax rate flat, and continues funding license plate reader cameras. The plan raises compensation for police and other city staff while slightly lowering the median homeowner's city tax bill and funding major capital projects, despite privacy concerns from two dissenting council members.
2. Children's Safe Harbor opens space for community organizations in new building (yourconroenews.com) — Organizations in and around Conroe can now book Children's Safe Harbor's new Training & Community Engagement Center on N. Loop 336 for meetings, workshops, and events. The flexible, tech-equipped space includes a large training room, boardrooms, atrium, patio, and kitchen, with rental proceeds supporting the nonprofit's work helping abused children and their families.
3. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS! Live updates on scores around the area (nenewsroom.com) — High school football fans can see how Conroe-area teams fared, with Conroe falling to Waller and Oak Ridge edging Montgomery in a close matchup. The roundup lists dozens of final scores from around Greater Houston and across Texas, plus a reminder about North Shore's big Cotton Bowl game, giving local readers a quick snapshot of Friday night's gridiron action.
4. Toni Says: Qualifying for a Medicare Supplement guaranteed issue policy (timesfreepress.com) — A Conroe resident asking about retirement and Medicare prompts clear guidance on how she and her husband can safely move from employer coverage to Medicare and Medigap without medical underwriting issues. The column explains guaranteed-issue rules, enrollment timelines, and which supplement plans are available, helping locals avoid costly mistakes when they leave job-based insurance at 65 or later.
