GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ On the November 2026 ballot, Proposition 17 will allow property owners in border counties to receive a tax break for security projects such as fencing or barriers—Hidalgo County Assistant Chief Appraiser Jorge Gonzalez said the measure may lower property appraisals and that local appraisal districts will wait for state guidance before making changes. Early voting begins Oct. 20 and Election Day is Nov. 4. KRGV
- ➤ The National WIC Association said that current funding keeps the federally funded WIC program running during the ongoing government shutdown, with applications and benefits still being processed. Local recipients such as San Benito mother Sofia Mares Sepeda-Abrego worry that if the shutdown lasts longer, rising costs — like $60 per can of formula needed for her 2-month-old — could put nearly 76,000 people in Cameron and Hidalgo counties at risk.
