Two Big Spring men were killed Saturday morning in an oilfield incident near Lamesa in Dawson County, the result of an accident on a Robinson Drilling Company platform.
Jason Bolt, 25, and Sandy Daves, 28, were killed when bushings on the oil rig they were working on failed, according to members of the victims' families.
For the Colorado River Municipal Water District, it's a matter of simple math — limited number of water sources plus limited pumping capacity equals reduced deliveries to customers.
CRMWD, which had already reduced deliveries to its member cities by 10 percent this summer, announced an additional 10 percent reduction effective July 1.
It's not all about cars for the ALSA Car Club of Big Spring. It's about doing what they can to help the community.
ALSA members joined together for a community service project at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Santos Duron Saturday morning.
“We were presented with this project and all the members decided it would be something we could help out with,” president of ALSA Car Club in Big Spring, Michael Dutchover, said.
The proposed 2012 budget for the Howard County Appraisal District will once again take center stage during Tuesday's meeting of the Big Spring City Council, as the government panel looks to make its disapproval of the fiscal plan official.
The council will meet at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in its chambers on East Fourth Street.
The council disapproved the proposed budget — which was presented at the May 24 meeting — on a 4-1 vote, citing a $15,000 raise in salary for Chief Appraiser Brett McKibben as the reason.
