(AUSTIN) July 1, 2020 – Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar today said state sales tax revenue totaled $2.67 billion in June, 6.5 percent less than in June 2019.

The majority of June sales tax revenue is based on sales made in May and remitted to the agency in June. Widespread social distancing requirements were relaxed across much of the state in May.

“The decline in state sales tax collections was driven principally by steep drops in remittances from oil- and gas-related sectors,” Hegar said. “Collections from the con-struction and amusement service sectors were also sharply down.

“While collections from restau-rants also were depressed, the extent of the decline was checked by increased takeout and delivery sales. Retail trade receipts rose significantly, buoyed by increased online shopping and building ma-terial purchases, as business prem-ises were modified for COVID-19 precautions.

“Retail sales likely also were boosted by increased alcoholic beverage sales at package, grocery and convenience stores. That’s because this category of spending shifted from restaurant and bar on-premise consumption, subject to mixed beverage taxes, to purchases for at-home consumption subject to sales tax. Increased spending by businesses to facilitate teleworking resulted in higher tax collections from vendors of computer hard-ware and software products.”

Total sales tax revenue for the

three months ending in June 2020 was down 9.7 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Sales tax is the largest source of state funding for the state budget, accounting for 57 percent of all tax collections, but the effects of the economic slowdown and low oil prices also were evident in other sources of revenue in June 2020.

Texas collected the following revenue from other major taxes:

• motor vehicle sales and rental taxes – $394 million, down 7.6 per-cent from June 2019, a substantial improvement from results in April and May;

• motor fuel taxes – $250 million, down 24 percent from June 2019;

• natural gas production tax – $20 million, down 84 percent from June 2019;

• oil production tax – $83 million, down 77 percent from June 2019;

• hotel occupancy tax – $23 mil-lion, down 61 percent from June 2019, an improvement from the record decline in May; and

• alcoholic beverage taxes – $65 million, down 47 percent from June 2019, significantly better than May’s results.

Von Otto Loses His Battle; But The Show Will Go On

Riesel Lion’s ClubFacebook Post

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our close friend and legend Von Otto (about 10 a.m. on Sunday, July 12, 2020).

Von was a great man to all and would want to be remembered for not only being the talented artist that he was, but also the great friend he became with so many of us.

Von would definitely want us

to think of him every time we see one of his paint jobs and that we will. So with that being said ... the show will go on. We will have the 2020 Von O’Rama this Saturday and we ask that anyone who has something that Von painted, bring it out to show your love and support as we celebrate the life of “Von” Otto Dickey.

Proceeds made at this event will go towards funeral expenses as well as a memorial that will be placed in honor of our friend who has moved on to help paint the sky.

WACO, Texas, July 1, 2020 – Students in Texas State Technical College’s Electrical Construction program have an array of oppor-tunities for work after graduation.

TSTC offers an Electrical Con-struction certificate at the Waco campus. Students learn about basic electrical theory, electrical codes, safety regulations, wiring and other topics.

“As your (TSTC’s) students are concerned, what gives them a jump is they have their OSHA training, their first aid and CPR training,” said Craig Miller, business manager for Local 72 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Waco. “They are familiar with the electrical code. We just build on that and run with that from there.”

The Texas Department of Li-censing and Regulation governs licensing for electricians. Under the agency, TSTC’s Electrical Construction students can get an apprenticeship card while in the program. When students gradu-ating from the program earn 800 on-the-job hours, they can take the

journeyman’s license test. After 4,000 additional on-the-job hours, graduates can take the master’s license test.

“We have quite a few of your graduates that are in our training program now that have completed the program,” Miller said. “You can start at 19, 20 years old and go until you are 62. We are looking for lifers.”

Hugh Whitted, chair of TSTC’s Electrical Construction program, said a lot of students entering the program already have some elec-trical knowledge, either through high school classes or military experience.

Whitted said Electrical Construc-tion graduates can pursue union or nonunion work. Job opportunities can provide work throughout Texas, out of state or in another country.

“There is always a need for wom-en and minorities in the field,” he said. “There is no physical reason why anyone could not be successful in this field.”

The Waco Independent School District employs its own electri-

cians. Kevin Hafer, the district’s coordinator of facilities and mainte-nance, said it can be difficult finding people with proper qualifications.

“Most electricians that possess the proper qualifications are able to command a higher salary in the private sector, albeit with less benefits than the district typically offers,” Hafer said.

Miller said the health care indus-try has a need for electricians. And, he said large-scale projects like the $1.9 billion Steel Dynamics mill project in Sinton needs electricians.

Jobs for electricians are projected to be at more than 789,000 by 2028, according to the U.S. Bureau of La-bor Statistics. It predicts the need for workers will be driven by alternative energy and construction spending.

Texas had more than 63,000 electricians making an annual mean wage of more than $52,000 in 2019, according to the federal agency. The Waco area had more than 500 electricians last year.

TSTC Electrical Construction Program Launches Graduates Into Work

MCC Recognized For Online Learning Programs

McLennan Community College was named the fourth-best online community college in Texas by the Guide to Online Schools, a leading website that tracks online capabili-ties in higher education.

The ranking is based on retention rate, graduation rate, percentage of online enrollment data, and the number of online associate degrees offered, according to the Guide to Online Schools.

The importance of online edu-cation has become more visible during the COVID-19 pandemic. MCC faculty members have been trained and worked with the Col-lege’s Center for Teaching and Learning to convert curriculum to online formats allowing students to continue to reach their educational goals through this period.

AUSTIN, July 6, 2020 – Hunters looking for a new opportunity or a change of scenery this fall are encouraged to check out the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) drawn hunt permits pro-gram. Applications are being ac-cepted now for a shot at more than 9,500 permits in 56 hunt categories.

The permits are for drawn hunts on both public and private lands throughout Texas. Among the offerings available through the online system are hunts for white-tailed and mule deer, pronghorn, turkey, alligator, dove and guided packages for exotic species and bighorn sheep.

“This season, we will conduct drawings in 56 hunt categories,” said Kelly Edmiston, TPWD pub-lic hunting program coordinator. “These drawings include two selections for U.S. Forest Service Antlerless Deer Permits, both adult and youth hunts, and 16 e-Postcard Selections for hunters using the $48 Annual Public Hunting Permit.”

Applicants for e-Postcard hunts and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Antlerless Deer Permits must have a current APH to apply.

New areas included in this year’s drawn hunt catalog include the Roger Fawcett WMA, Hagerman NWR and Laguna Atascosa NWR – Bahia Grande Unit. TPWD also created two new NWR hunt cate-gories, one for NWR Feral Hog and one for NWR Spring Turkey.

Drawn hunt opportunities can be viewed online by category or by area via an interactive map and all applications, fee payments and

permit issuance is handled elec-tronically. To participate, applicants will need internet access, an email address and a credit or debit card. The Customer ID number from the applicant’s hunting or fishing license is one of the easy ways to access the system.

Application fees are $3 or $10 de-pending on the hunt category. Adult hunters that are selected may also need to pay a Special Permit fee of $80 for regular hunts and $130 for extended hunts. Some categories, such as the Youth-Only hunts, re-quire no application fees or permit fees. Permits are open to resident and non-resident hunters alike.

The first application deadlines are in August. Aug. 1 is the deadline for the alligator hunt categories, pronghorn, and private lands dove hunts, and Aug. 15 is the deadline for archery deer, general exotic and javelina. New to the 2020-21 license year is the addition of a Nov. 1 deadline for late occurring hunts. Application deadlines are the 1st and 15th of the month from Aug. 1st to Nov. 1st. A full list of category deadlines can be found online. Hunters can apply up to 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the application deadline, and after the application is submitted, they can check their drawing status online at any time.

For more information or to get started in the application process, visit the TPWD drawn hunts web-page. For questions, contact hunt@tpwd.texas.gov or call (512) 389-4505 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
