• Pasadena Little League needs two T-ball and three other coaches this fall. (pasadenian.com) — Pasadena Little League urgently needs two T‑ball and three additional head coaches so every child can play this fall.

• Lawmakers added $1 to Texans' car insurance policies. That money paid for thousands of Flock cameras. (click2houston.com) — Texas' $1 auto insurance fee has quietly funded thousands of Flock license plate cameras statewide, including systems used by Pasadena police to investigate catalytic converter thefts. The governor has now paused state Flock grants amid privacy and misuse concerns, after officers in several cities, including Pasadena, faced discipline or investigation. Lawmakers are weighing whether the program violates Texans' constitutional rights.
