AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Data-center pressure meets everyday bills: Amarillo residents say their water use and charges jumped 300% after the city rolled out digital smart meters and a new billing system—turning a drought-era utility into a trust crisis, while the broader fear is that water demand from data centers will keep reshaping what communities can afford. Local animal welfare: More than 125 dogs were pulled from “hoarding” conditions in Ellis County, with the last 75 removed this week after months of rescue work. Public health watch: Tick bites are rising nationwide, and experts warn not to ignore symptoms—especially with multiple tick-borne illnesses circulating. Texas wildlife recovery: TPWD released over 1 million Houston toad eggs at Bastrop State Park to rebuild a population hit by wildfire. Safety and enforcement: CVSA Roadcheck is underway, with inspectors focusing on ELD tampering and cargo securement during a major roadside push.
