SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN? FINALLY, A DEAL IN AUSTIN ON TEXAS PROPERTY TAX. IT IS A
COMPROMISE ON THE PLANS PUT
FORTH BY THE HOUSE AND THE
SENATE WHICH ARE NOW IN THEIR
SECOND SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE
SESSION TO DEAL WITH THIS VERY
ISSUE. SO HERE'S WHAT'S IN THAT
DEAL. IT REDUCES YOUR SCHOOL
PROPERTY TAX RATE. IT INCREASES
THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION TO
$100,000 AND CREATES A PILOT
PROGRAM TO GIVE TAX CREDITS
ON PROPERTIES BUT DON'T HAVE
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.
STILL A BIG QUESTION HERE,
THOUGH, WITH ALL THAT, WHAT
DOES THIS DO TO SCHOOL FUNDING
AND COULD IT LOWER YOUR
PROPERTY TAXES NOW GOING TO
COST US MORE IN THE FUTURE?
THAT IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT
IN THIS KSAT EXPLAINS. PLUS,
THE PROPOSALS THAT LAWMAKERS
WRESTLED WITH TO GET HERE.
>> OUR CITIZENS ARE NEEDING
HELP.
>> THERE ARE LONG-TERM
IMPLICATIONS TO THIS.
>> ELIMINATING THE SCHOOL IN
THE NO TAX IS THE
>> THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH
REVENUE TO DO IT. THE MONEY'S
GOT TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE.
LAWMAKERS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING
FOR MONTHS TO FIND COMMON
GROUND ON PROPERTY TAX RELIEF.
>> THE SENATE HAD A PLAN.
THE HOUSE HAD A PLAN TO THE END
OF THE SESSION, PASSED WITH
NO SOLUTION ON THAT. BUT
GOVERNOR ABBOTT TOLD LAWMAKERS
TO GET IT DONE AND GO INTO
OVERTIME TO DO IT. THE FIRST
SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION
ENDED IN A STALEMATE. SO
LAWMAKERS WENT INTO DOUBLE
OVERTIME.
>> WRESTLING WITH 2 PLANS THAT
HAVE ONE GIANT SIMILARITY,
SOMETHING CALLED COMPRESSION.
THE BIGGEST PORTION OF YOUR
PROPERTY TAX BILL IS THE
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT IN
THEIR AREA. BOTH THE HOUSE AND
SENATE PROPOSALS INCLUDE A PLAN
TO COMPRESS THE PROPERTY TAX
RATE SET BY LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS. IF THAT RATE IS
LOWERED, YOU PAY LESS. BUT
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL STILL NEED
THE MONEY. SO LAWMAKERS IN BOTH
CHAMBERS WANT TO USE ROUGHLY
12 BILLION DOLLARS. THE STATE
HAS A SURPLUS TO MAKE UP THE
DIFFERENCE FOR SCHOOLS. THE
HOUSE PLAN CURRENTLY IS WHAT
THE GOVERNOR HAS ASKED FOR.
>> WHICH IS COMPRESSION.
ONLY IT WOULD LOWER PROPERTY
TAXES FOR ALL PROPERTY OWNERS.
BUT THE SENATE PLAN FAVORS
HOMEOWNERS BY INCREASING
HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS FROM
$40,000 TO 100,000 VOTERS WOULD
LATER HAVE TO APPROVE THAT.
IT'S THE PLANNED. LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR DAN PATRICK SUPPORTS.
THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST
TIME STATE LAWMAKERS HAVE
APPROVED COMPRESSING SCHOOL
PROPERTY TAX RATES THEY DID IN
2019.
>> THE STATE PAYS BILLIONS FOR
THAT COMPRESSION EVERY YEAR
THERE'S ALREADY 5 MILLION
DOLLARS PUT INTO THE BUDGET
FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF.
SO WHEN YOU HEAR THE NUMBER
17 BILLION DOLLARS FOR PROPERTY
TAX RELIEF.
>> REALLY? WHAT'S BEING DEBATED
IN AUSTIN WAS MORE LIKE 12 OR
13 BILLION DOLLARS. THAT'S A
ONE TIME.
THE REST WAS JUST 2 YEARS.
THAT'S JUST FOR 2 YEARS.
SO WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF
THOSE 10 YEARS? WHAT WAS DONE
AND THE YEAR 2023 WAS TO TAKE A
ONE-TIME MONEY.
>> TO BUY DOWN LOCAL PROPERTY
TAXES, THERE'S NOTHING TO KEEP
THEM FROM GOING OUT.
>> 2, 4 YEARS FROM NOW, THE
CONCEPT OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING,
IS IT BAD? IT'S JUST THAT THE
MATH DOESN'T WORK LONG. HEARD
JOSH ANDERSON ON THE DEPUTY
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF EQUITY
CENTER. THE EQUITY CENTER
REPRESENTS MORE THAN 600 TEXAS
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS, ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT COMES TO FUNDING THAT
ROUGHLY 12 TO 13 BILLION TO
PAY FOR THIS PROPERTY TAX
RELIEF WOULD COME FROM THE
ROUGHLY 33 BILLION DOLLAR
SURPLUS. THE STATE HAS NOW
THAT.
>> SURPLUS IS COMPLETELY
UNPRECEDENTED BECAUSE IT IS
ONE-TIME MONEY BECAUSE IT'S NOT
A REGULAR CURRENT THING AND
THEY'RE APPLYING IT TO AN
ONGOING COST. SANDERSON SAYS
IT'S LIKE USING A ONE TIME
BONUS TO BUY A MORE EXPENSIVE
CAR. YOU GET THE EXTRA CASH
THE ONE TIME, BUT YOUR CAR
PAYMENTS COME AROUND EVERY
MONTH. FOR EVERYBODY WHO WORKS
ON THE BUDGET. YOU KNOW, THIS
IS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS. THERE'S
NO WAY TAKING MONEY OUT OF AN
ESSENCE, A SAVINGS ACCOUNT TO
PAY FOR ONGOING REDUCTION IN
TAXES IS GOING TO WORK. BUT
WHAT'S ALSO NOT WORKING ARE
CRIPPLING PROPERTY TAXES FOR
TEXAS. TEXAS IS ONE OF 7 STATES
THAT DOES NOT HAVE INCOME TAX.
THERE WAS A LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
NAME BULLOCK IN THE 1990'S WHO
TRIED TO TALK ABOUT THE IDEA OF
HAVING AN INCOME TAX. BUT THAT
PROVED TO BE POLITICALLY
UNPOPULAR. THE.
>> THAT'S A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT PROHIBITING A PERSON
FROM PACS AND TEXAS. THE PEOPLE
REFER TO AS THE BULLETIN.
AND THEN IN 2019.
>> THEY HAVE AMENDMENT. VOTERS
ACTUALLY STRENGTHEN THAT
CONSTITUTIONAL.
>> PROHIBITION WHICH MADE IT
EVEN HARDER TO BE AN INCOME TO
ACTUALLY I HAVE 2 THIRDS OF
VOTERS TO PASS AND IT'S NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> THE AMOUNT YOU PAY IN
PROPERTY TAXES IS BASED OFF OF
YOUR PROPERTY APPRAISAL, WHICH
IS DETERMINED BY THE LOCAL
APPRAISAL DISTRICT IN BEXAR
COUNTY, APPRAISAL VALUES AND
SHOT UP BY ROUGHLY 28% IN 2020
TO 15% IN 2023 PROPERTY TAXES
AND THE END OF THE DAY ARE
ACTUALLY LOCAL TAXES. THE REAL
ANSWER TO CONTROLLING THE
PROPERTY TAX BURDEN LIVE AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL ARE THE DIFFERENT
TAXING ENTITIES LISTED ON YOUR
PROPERTY TAX BILL SET THEIR OWN
TAX RATES ARE GOING TO
DETERMINE THE BUDGET. WHAT IS
IT THAT THE CITY OF SAN
ANTONIO, THE COUNTY OF BEER.
>> WANT TO ACCOMPLISH THIS
YEAR? WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE
TO GET THERE. THE STATE PUT A
LIMIT ON HOW MUCH THOSE
ENTITIES CAN INCREASE THEIR
RATE EACH YEAR. NO MORE THAN
3 AND A HALF PERCENT. BUT THAT
PERCENTAGE CAN BE BANKED AND 2.
>> YOU CAN GO BUT 3 AND A HALF
PERCENT. IF YOU DON'T SAY SPENT
2 AND A HALF PERCENT LAST YEAR,
THAT LIMIT DOES NOT APPLY TO
THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT OR ALAMO
COLLEGES DISTRICT. THEY CAN
INCREASE RATES BY AS MUCH AS
8%. BUT SOME LOCAL ENTITIES ARE
MAKING MOVES TO TRY TO LESSEN
THE BURDEN. ALAMO COLLEGES
APPROVED A NEW HOMESTEAD
EXCEPTION OF ONE PERCENT OR A
MINIMUM OF $5,000. THE CITY
OF SAN ANTONIO JUST DOUBLED
ITS HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FROM
10% TO 20%. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE
THE PROPERTY TAX GOVERNMENT
WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FUNCTION
AND IT'S MUCH THE SAME FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. GOVERNOR ABBOTT
HAS SUGGESTED PUSHING PROPERTY
TAX RELIEF EVEN FURTHER MIGHT
ELIMINATING THE MAIN PORTION OF
SCHOOL PROPERTY TAX RATES
ALTOGETHER. IT'S CALLED THE
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS TAX
OR IT'S WHAT PACE FOR
DAY-TO-DAY EXPENSES LIKE
TEACHER, SALARIES, UTILITIES
AND MAINTENANCE. THE TEXAS
PUBLIC POLICY FOUNDATION, A
CONSERVATIVE THINK TANK HAS
BEEN TALKING ABOUT A PLAN TO
WIPE OUT PROPERTY TAXES FOR
YEARS. AND NOW GOVERNOR ABBOTT
HAS ENDORSED THE PLAN CALLS FOR
THE STATE TO CONTINUE
COMPRESSING PROPERTY TAX RATES
OVER 10 YEARS.
>> AND RESTRICT GOVERNMENT
SPENDING AND GROWTH TO CREATE
FUTURE SURPLUSES. LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR DAN PATRICK HAS CALLED
IT. AND THAT'S A FANTASY AT ONE
THAT WOULD REQUIRE A HUGE JUMP
IN SALES TAX. EVENTUALLY WE'RE
GOING TO GET TO A POINT TO
WHERE YOU CAN PAY FOR THIS,
>> BECAUSE THE STATE JUST
DOESN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO
IT. LONG TERM. THE DOG IS GOING
TO CATCH THIS CAR.
>> REPRESENTATIVES WITH THE
TEXAS PUBLIC POLICY FOUNDATION
DECLINED OUR REQUEST FOR AN
INTERVIEW FOR THIS EXPLAINS.
SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE US
EXPLAINED. WE COVER ALL KINDS
OF TOPICS. SCAN THIS QR CODE
TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE KSAT
EXPLAINS PAGE WHERE YOU CAN
SAN ANTONIO POLICE NOW
INVESTIGATING THE SHOOTING OF A
TEENAGER. THIS HAPPENED THIS
AFTERNOON ON BREED'S HILL DRIVE
NEAR MARBACH ROAD. OFFICERS
SAY ANOTHER TEEN SHOT THE
VICTIM IN THE LEG. HE WAS TAKEN
TO A NEARBY HOSPITAL IN
CRITICAL CONDITION AT LAST
CHECK. NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN
MADE.
>> SAN ANTONIO MAN CHARGED WITH
HUMAN SMUGGLING AFTER LEAVING
ZAVALA COUNTY DEPUTIES ON A
CHASE. DEPUTIES SAY BRITO OR
NOT DOES LEGAL SPILL ACTUALLY
LED THEM ON A HIGH-SPEED CHASE
ON HIGHWAY 83. ONCE THEY GOT
THE CAR STOPPED SUPPORTS.
BY THE WAY, SEVERAL PEOPLE
BAILED OUT OF IT.
THE SUSPECT ALSO CHARGED WITH
EVADING ARREST. SAPD NOW
PARTNERING WITH A COMPANY THAT
WILL HELP FIX BROKEN LIGHTS
ON CARS. THIS NEW PROGRAM IS
CALLED LIGHTS ON.
>> THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP
OFFICERS WILL NOW GIVE VOUCHERS
INSTEAD OF TICKETS TO ALLOW
PEOPLE TO GET THEIR HEADLIGHTS
OR TAILLIGHTS FIXED. STATE
SENATOR ROLAND GUTIERREZ
ANNOUNCING HE WILL RUN FOR
U.S.. SENATE MADE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT ON TWITTER TODAY.
GUTIERREZ WILL GO AGAINST U.S..
REPRESENTATIVE COLIN ALLRED FOR
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION TO
TRY AND UNSEAT SENATOR TED
CRUZ. THAT'S YOUR 60ND RECAP.
LET'S TURN TO THE FORECAST.
LOOK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE, PLENTY OF HEAT.
THIS IS JUST THE DOG DAYS.
ADAM CASKEY
>> DOG DAYS OF SUMMER.
AND WE'RE FEELING WE'RE FEELING
THE HEAT, BUT I'M GOING TO BE
BACK IN A LITTLE BIT TO TALK
ABOUT THE AFRICAN DUST WHERE
IT IS RIGHT NOW WHERE MOST OF
ITS LOCATED WHEN WE COULD SEE
SOME OF IT ALONG WITH A BIT
OF A TROPICAL UPDATE. ONE AREA
OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE ATLANTIC.
>> ALL RIGHT. SO AT 5 O'CLOCK,
I SAID, I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO
TALK ABOUT WHETHER I WAS AT THE
TEMPERATURES CAST PERSONALLY.
I E, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T IMAGINE
THAT HAPPENING. IT.
THE SENSITIVE I TAKE SO MUCH
PERSONALLY. YEAH. I MEAN, YOUR
THERMOMETERS AREN'T THE ONLY
THINGS THAT ARE SENSITIVE.
THAT'S TRUE. VERY SENSE.
ESPECIALLY DEPENDING ON THE
BOAT SIZE. WE JUST SAY THAT
CASKEY IS PERFECTLY CALIBRATED
IS ANOTHER WITH AN OH, WELL, I
DON'T I DON'T THINK MY WIFE
WOULD AGREE HEALTH PICKS.
>> THAT'S A HARD NOW. OH, BOY
IS SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY OFF.
I CELSIUS AND FAHRENHEIT REALLY
LINE UP TO WELL VERY OFTEN.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S SAY I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE. THIS IS A
VIEW FROM I-10 FOR 10. YOU CAN
CLEARLY SEE DOWNTOWN.
>> THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A TRACE
OF AFRICAN DUST IN THE AIR, BUT
REALLY NOT MUCH OVERHEAD.
YOU DO NOTICE IT DOWN IN SOUTH
FLORIDA RIGHT NOW. THEY'VE GOT
A BIT OF A HAZE, BUT MOST OF IT
AND THE THE BULK OF IT AND THE
REALLY HIGHEST CONCENTRATION IS
FAR OUT OVER THE ATLANTIC.
AND THIS WILL BE TRACKING
WESTWARD INTO THE GULF OF
MEXICO LATER THIS WEEK. BUT
REALLY BY FRIDAY MORNING AROUND
SUNRISE, THERE COULD BE A
LITTLE BIT ALONG THE GULF
COAST. IF YOUR LAWN, IF YOU'RE
ON THE GULF COAST FRIDAY
MORNING AT SUNRISE, YOU MAY
NOTICE A LITTLE EXTRA HAYES
FROM LIGHT AMOUNTS OF DUST AND
THEN BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK,
WE MAY GET CLIPPED BY ANOTHER
LIGHT AMOUNT EVEN HERE IN SAN
ANTONIO, BUT PROBABLY NOT
ENOUGH TO REALLY NOTICE IT A
WHOLE LOT. SO IT'S THAT TIME
OF YEAR WE LOOK OUT TO THE
ATLANTIC FOR THAT DUST BUT
REALLY KNOW. EVEN MODERATE TO
DENSE PLUMES OF IT ANYTIME
SOON. AS FOR TROPICAL
DEVELOPMENT, JUST EAST OF
BERMUDA, A 40% CHANCE EVEN IF
THIS DOES DEVELOP. IT'S HEADING
DUE EAST AWAY FROM THE U.S. AND
AWAY FROM BERMUDA. WE ALSO LOOK
TO THE PACIFIC BECAUSE
SOMETIMES WE GET THE LEFTOVERS
AND A LITTLE BIT OF MOISTURE
FROM PACIFIC SYSTEMS. BUT
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
THERE IS A 90% CHANCE OF
DEVELOPMENT HERE SOUTH OF
MEXICO, BUT THAT'S GOING TO
BE HEADED, DO WESTWARD. AND I
DON'T THINK WE GET ANY BLOW OFF
MOISTURE FROM THAT SYSTEM
EITHER. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
DROUGHT HERE IN TEXAS AND NOT
ALL OF TEXAS IS IN DROUGHT,
ACTUALLY WHERE WE'VE HAD THE
BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT OVER THE
PAST SEVERAL WEEKS IS UP IN
THE PANHANDLE, EVEN FROM
LUBBOCK TO AMARILLO POINTS
NORTHWARD. THAT'S WHERE WE'VE
HAD A LOT OF RAIN EAST, TEXAS,
JUST FINE EAST OF I-35. WE DO
HAVE SOME ABNORMALLY DRY AREAS,
BUT WE'RE REALLY STANDS OUT.
IS THIS ONE RED SPOT IN THE
ENTIRE STATE? RIGHT OVER THE
TEXAS HILL COUNTRY.
KERRVILLE MOUNTAIN HOME
FREDRICKSBURG BLANCO EVEN DOWN
TOWARDS SISTERDALE.
BANDERA BERNIE BULVERDE.
YOU'RE ALL INCLUDED AND EVEN
JUST SCRAPE THE NORTHERN BEXAR
COUNTY FAIR OAKS RANCH AREA
AS WELL INCLUDED IN THAT
EXTREME DROUGHT IN THE
EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT. THIS IS
THE ONE UNFORTUNATE PART OF
THE STATE WHERE WE REALLY JUST
DIDN'T GET AS MUCH RAINFALL
DURING OUR
DAMP PERIODS OF MAY OR APRIL
MAY AND EVEN EARLY JUNE.
AS FOR RAIN CHANCES? WELL, WE
KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE SLIM
THIS TIME OF YEAR USUALLY TAKES
A TROPICAL SYSTEM TO GIVE US
REALLY ANY GOOD MOISTURE.
WE HAVE A 10% CHANCE TOMORROW.
IT'S SOMETHING I KNOW, BUT IT'S
IN THE HILL COUNTRY. EDWARDS
PLATEAU, A BRIEF, ISOLATED
SHOWER COULD POP TO TOMORROW
AFTERNOON, FAR NORTH AND
NORTHWEST OF SAN ANTONIO.
YOU LOOK AT THE GENERALIZED
VIEW OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE
NEXT 7 DAYS AND IT'S ALL THE
NORTH OF US PANHANDLE AGAIN
AND PARTS OF NORTH AND EAST
TEXAS COULD BE SEEING SOME OF
THOSE SHOWERS, AT LEAST HAVE
BETTER POTENTIAL. THEN WE DO
AROUND HERE. SO LET'S TALK HEAT
STEVE WANTED TO TALK 102
EARLIER TODAY. THAT'S WHERE
WE ARE 102 AFTER OUR HIGH OF
103 DEW POINT IS 66 FEELS LIKE
107. IT'S REAL DEAL. HEAT
INDICES AGAIN, NOT AS BAD AS
WHAT WE HAD IN JUNE, BUT STILL
WE'RE FEELING IT. AIR TEMPS
STILL IN THE LOW 1. 100'S RIGHT
NOW. WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE
HUMIDITY, FEELS LIKE 109 IN
HONDO. UVALDE FEELS LIKE 106
CAN TO LA FEELS LIKE 113.
HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. FEELS LIKE
107 TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE
SIMILAR. 80 DEGREES IN THE
MORNING. 103 IN THE AFTERNOON.
IT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT'S
108 FOR A FEW HOURS IN THE
AFTERNOON, PROBABLY STARTING
AROUND 03:04PM. WE'LL HAVE THAT
HEAT INDEX UP TO ACTUAL AIR
TEMPERATURES 100 ACRE EASEL
SPRINGS, CRYSTAL CITY 101.
IN KERRVILLE PLEASANTON 104
AND EVEN ON THE WEST SIDE OF
TOWN WILL MAKE IT UP TO 104
AROUND LACKLAND TOMORROW.
SO WE'VE GOT THE REAL DEAL
HEAT. IT'S GOING TO HANG AROUND
BASICALLY. BUT, YOU KNOW,
10203, THE REST OF THIS
WEEKEND, MAYBE TRIMMING OFF
A DEGREE BY THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. BUT THAT'S A RARE SIGNED FIRST EDITION OF
F SCOTT FITZGERALD'S. THE GREAT
GATSBY.
>> IS GOING UP FOR AUCTION.

IT'S A BIG CALL. YEAH. FAMILY
GAME NIGHT COULD HELP BUILD
THE KIDS MATH ABILITIES.
THAT'S ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY
PUBLISHED LAST WEEK IN THE
JOURNAL EARLY YEARS,
RESEARCHERS REVIEWED 19
DIFFERENT STUDIES THAT LOOKED
AT THE INDIVIDUAL IMPACT OF 25
GAMES ON LEARNING. YEAH.
THEY FOUND BOARD GAMES CAN
HELP. YOUNG KIDS GROW STRONGER
MATH ABILITIES IN JUST MORE
THAN 30% OF THE GAMES, KIDS
SAW SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT
IN MATH.
>> COMPARED WITH THOSE WHO DID
NOT PLAY THAT THE STUDIES
INCLUDED GAMES LIKE DOMINOES,
CHUTES AND LADDERS AND THE
GREAT RACE. AN BUT NOW POLICE
WHAT TOLD ME ALL ABOUT, YOU
KNOW, PASCOE COLLECT $200 AND
REAL ESTATE. YEAH. HAHA.
ONE. ARIZONA MAN PICKED UP AN
EXTRA PASSENGER ON HIS WAY TO
WORK RECENTLY. YOU SEE HIM IN
THERE. THIS HITCHHIKER NEEDED
SOME HELP TO GET OUT OF THE
CAR. THE MARICOPA COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE POSTED ABOUT
THE INCIDENT ON FACEBOOK.
THEY SAY THE MAN DRIVING TO
WORK IN GILA BEND WHEN HE HIT A
BOBCAT. OFFICIALS SAY HE DIDN'T
KNOW THAT HE HIT THE ANIMAL
UNTIL HE PARKED HIS CAR.
AND THEN I HEARD SOME NOISE
UNDER THE HOOD.
>> WHEN HE INVESTIGATED, HE'LL
OPEN THE HOOD ANY SALT TO WISE
LOOKING BACK AT HIM, THE
SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE
ARIZONA GAME AND FISH
DEPARTMENT WERE ABLE TO SEDATE
THE BOBCAT BEFORE REMOVING IT
FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
IT WAS NOT HURT AND WAS LATER
RELEASED BACK INTO THE WILD.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING.
I WONDER IF IT WAS LIKE IN
THERE TO BEGIN WITH THE REALLY
HIT IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET
IN THERE. THAT'S YEAH. THAT'S
MY QUESTION, OK? WELL, HERE'S
A TRANSITION CAT LOVERS.
IT'S YOUR DAY TO CELEBRATE.
TODAY IS NATIONAL KIT IT
DOESN'T GET MUCH CUTER THAN
THESE LOVABLE FELINES. THE DAY
IS SET ASIDE TO OBSERVE ALL
THE FLUFFY ADORABLE NUS.
THAT IS KITTENS. BUT TO BE
HONEST FOR OWNERS OF KITTENS,
EVERY DAY'S A HOLIDAY.
ABSOLUTELY. BUT IF YOU DON'T
ALREADY HAVE YOUR OWN LITTLE
FURBALL, THE CUDDLE HEAD TO A
SHELTER TO ADOPT OR FOSTER
WATER. YOU CAN START
VOLUNTEERING WITH THE KITTEN
RESCUE.
>> IF BRING ONE IN YOUR HOME'S
OUT AN OPTION.
THIS IS A BIG DAY FOR OUR OWN
CAT LOVER. DAVID HURTA
