246 Briarwood Dr.- Jackson, MS 39206  | Terms of Use | Privacy Policy In the race for the District 4 seat on City Council incumbent Chito Vela is facing four candidates with the two most visible challengers – Monica Guzmán and Louis Herrin – notching their third and fourth races for City Council Quality-of-life issues are the main concerns expressed by Vela the three candidates the Monitor was able to interview (Eduardo Romero and Jim Rabuck did not respond to requests for interviews) The biggest difference among them is the terminology and anecdotes each uses to explain the future of the district which is located northeast of downtown and generally bounded by Braker Lane parks and crime were the ingredients peppered throughout conversations with the three who was elected to finish a partial term leftover when Greg Casar was elected to Congress in 2022 said the city needs to continue its installation of sidewalks funded by recent bond packages for transportation needs he said the next bond election will need to address local infrastructure possibly related to larger climate and sustainability projects “The one issue that constantly comes up across the district would be mobility issues bike lanes and connections between different parts of the district That’s all what I would call micromobility concerns that come up in meeting after meeting after meeting,” he said “We have seen a number of sidewalks being installed throughout the district That’s only fair because District 4 had not received its fair share of public resources for decades We’re playing catch-up right now.” He said the district would likely need additional bond money for more sidewalk construction “as soon as possible.” Photo courtesy of Chito Vela for D4 Campaign Larger transportation needs that impact the whole city are another concern for Vela who sees Project Connect as a must-have initiative that needs to be completed despite the legal challenges being made against the funding and administrative mechanisms used to pass it in a 2020 election Vela wants design and planning to continue while the legal battles continue and is looking for state leaders who can back any legislation that could negate the legal clouds hanging over the project If the 2025 Legislature isn’t able to provide that solution he said the city should consider a bond election that would more easily fund the capital costs that were included in the 2020 tax rate election “If we get through this next session and we don’t have a resolution and the court case has not really advanced and we’re still sitting there with all this uncertainty may need to go back and try a plan B,” he said “That bond election would be tax-neutral to the public but it would just shift the amount and say but now this amount is for maintenance operations As a frequent voice in favor of closing the Fayette Power Project coal-powered plant Vela sees promise in moves by Austin Energy to secure solar contracts from local providers using rooftop systems throughout the city He hopes those arrangements can bring more price stability for the city while meeting the needs on hot summer days when solar production is at a peak On the question of housing needs in the district and throughout the city Vela sees the ongoing decrease in rents as evidence that the move for more apartment construction is gradually helping to solve the ongoing affordability crisis he said policies such as the HOME and HOME2 initiatives will likely take longer to affect housing prices I don’t think that the HOME ordinances will have a huge impact on the look and feel of the city I think they will have a major impact on what the city looks and feels like,” he said noting that the passage of pro-accessory dwelling unit policy almost a decade ago has only had a modest effect in the district He also downplayed the concerns over the possible property tax increases some see as a coming side effect of the push for density: “When you do a broad rezoning like that you don’t really see those concentrated impacts You tend to see a much more muted impact in terms of property tax values.” a local organizer and the policy director for Go Austin/Vamos Austin said residents in many portions of the district face a lack of walkable areas and nearby parks especially those in apartment complexes around Lamar Boulevard Photo courtesy of Monica Guzmán for D4 Campaign “Lamar and Rundberg is still one of the deadliest intersections in the city when it comes to auto and auto-pedestrian accidents whether it’s a mixed-use with retail on a first floor and residential above it “There’s not enough green space for kids to play on That’s definitely something that we really need especially with climate change and needing to plan with that Affordable housing is one of Guzmán’s most serious concerns for the area She said if elected she’d partner with other Council members representing the city’s Eastern Crescent communities to push for the creation of more housing priced for low- and middle-income households and so they will stay income-restricted for several years the owner can flip it to make it all market rate which would potentially displace the residents who are in there at the time that is done,” she said have a relationship with the property owners and with management to encourage them to keep it income-restricted in perpetuity especially the rental properties that are income-restricted.” Other quality-of-life issues Guzmán wants to see addressed include the creation of neighborhood circulator routes to help residents have better access to the limited number of full-service grocery stores in some areas She also pointed to the increased visibility of open drug markets and sex workers spreading north on Georgian Drive as an issue that the Austin Police Department and Austin Independent School District need to work together to address Those issues as well as the needs of those experiencing homelessness tie into Guzmán’s belief that the city should pivot its public safety resources further into community and mental health with case workers and related professionals able to produce better results than the police officers and paramedics who respond to the bulk of 911 calls she would like to see the APD budget held flat for at least another year so the money to fund the raises called for by the proposed Austin Police Association contract could be directed elsewhere “’I’m not saying that the police aren’t needed but our police are responding to calls for things that should be responded to by other folks who are appropriately trained,” she said She added that the $80 million Community Investment Budget called for by an assortment of community groups could have easily been funded with a fraction of the police budget but a drop in the bucket compared to the whole budget Being told that there’s no money and we’re facing a deficit yet all of a sudden more than $200 million has been found for use for across five years – it just raises red flags.” who works as an engineer for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality a stronger police force and a shift to community policing are necessities for the district he said has seen a rise in larcenies and other crimes that don’t attract major attention from city leaders “Even though they’re saying the statistics are going down,” he said I’m not calling 311 anymore because we know nothing’s going to happen I think that’s what a lot of people have the feeling.” where we have officers that are basically assigned to a certain community and we have basically a two-way conversation I don’t see that happening because we’re understaffed.” Herrin said parks throughout the area need more attention and features to make them family friendly with neighborhood groups often taking up the bulk of the work to mow and maintain the areas Herrin said a comprehensive audit of city operations and finances is needed to identify inefficiencies and waste He pointed to the many levels of permitting and planning approvals needed to build a home as an example of redundancy he’d like to eliminate “It needs to be independent because I want them to show where we’re duplicating things and where we’re doing stuff that we shouldn’t be doing,” he said “One of the things I suspect that will come back is a lot of the city pet projects will be going away But that is one of the things I think we can probably save money on that big time.” Herrin doesn’t spare his criticism of the Project Connect mass transit plan the cost of which he said was lowballed to win support from voters With the costs increasing and the scale of the first phase shrinking he said a better approach to transit would have been prioritizing commuter lines into the city from surrounding suburbs to take more long-distance travelers off the road Herrin said he’d be pointed in his views and wouldn’t join a bloc of similarly minded officials on the City Council dais “I don’t have a problem calling somebody out when I have a disagreement with them I will explain my side and I would expect them to explain their side and it leads to corruption … when somebody’s calling to put a pet project up because we need to go back to the basics.” And we’re honored you look to us for serious You know a strong community needs local and dedicated watchdog

From a press release issued By MotoAmerica Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin will roll into Daytona International Speedway this week riding high with a level of confidence that only comes from winning two Daytona 200s in a row but a fourth win would put him just one trip to Victory Lane away from making it a three-way tie with Scott Russell and Miguel Duhamel There’s a race to be run and it is historically one of the more difficult to win and you need a motorcycle that is fast and a pit crew that is both fast and mistake-free You also need to have the instinct of being in the right place at the right time to win a last-lap battle to the tri-oval and the checkered flag that awaits there Case in point: Most of the winners of the Daytona 200 have only won once in the race’s 82-year

the very last weekend for him The veteran tie-down roper looked like one down the stretch never flinching in his NFR fight and finishing No 12 in the World Standings despite sitting No It will be the 40-year-old’s 14th trip to the big show After winning just $1,500 on his first five runs of the season Herrin more than doubled it in Rapid City with an 8.8-second run that got him third place money Herrin got his first taste of Texas Swing success at the second stop in San Antone where he advanced second out of Bracket 2 with $4,500 and then added $2,000 for a second place finish in the Second Semifinal He also made the Finals in Austin in the Texas Swing Despite 9.0 seconds being his fastest run in Austin things still broke his way for a fourth place finish in the Average He was helped mightily when a 16.6-second run got him third in the Finals Only five tie-down ropers caught all three in Austin Herrin was consistent to kickoff the Summer Run and it paid well He didn’t place in either of the first two rounds but still made solid runs to stay in the Average race he was 27.7 seconds on three for fourth place That made up over $6,000 of his earnings in Reno Herrin turned in a 7.5-second run to get his Playoff Series win on Aug It was his fastest run of the season to that point and his first win in Idaho since 2021 Herrin won Ellensburg for the third time in his career His three runs were between 8.5 and 9.1 seconds and he won the Finals with an 8.8 to seal the deal three tenths clear of the rest of the field 16 in the World Standings and things got off to a rocky start when he made a 34.6-second run to in Round 1 It turned out to be a massively important run because the very next one was a 7.6 and with two qualified times He was 7.3 in the Eight-Man and then 7.1 in

putting him one win away from tying the all-time win leaders Herrin won the 83rd running of the Daytona 200 by being consistently faster than his pursuers in the infield, especially late in the race. With just six laps to go, Herrin ripped off a 1:47.879 lap on his Warhorse HSBK Ducati Panigale V2 to seal the deal It was a new race lap record and just .046 of a second shy of Richie Escalante’s qualifying lap record from 2024 Escalante’s bad Daytona luck turned around on Saturday with the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki rider finishing second to Herrin after running in the lead pack for the duration Escalante didn’t have the pace to go with him and once the draft was broken it was game over Herrin was 5.33 seconds ahead of Escalante who had his hands full with his teammate Tyler Scott His teammate beat him to the line by his teammate by a miniscule .008 of a second “[T]his has just been an amazing experience I’m just lucky to be in this position and have a chance at this I would have never imagined to get three in a row everybody,” says Herrin after his historic victory Unlike Friday, when he secured a rare runaway Daytona victory, S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Troy Herfoss made Wyman earn Saturday’s win played the cat-and-mouse game on the final lap and then pulled the pin with Wyman holding Herfoss off at the finish line by .056 of a second “I was confident because all five of these wins I’ve led out of the chicane,” Wyman comments I led out of the chicane… I knew tire conservation was going to be a big deal I tried to really chill out in the first half of the race and leave a little bit for the end Herfoss had crashed while gaining ground on Wyman on Friday and was fortunate to score a handful of points after remounting to finish eighth Dallas Daniels (No. 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) opened his 2025 Grand National Championship campaign in perfect double-victory fashion by completing the short track Daytona I & II sweep on Friday night. However, he was forced to do so in a manner that yet again promised an incredible Progressive American Flat Track season to come After stealing Thursday’s victory from Briar Bauman despite struggling almost all day Daniels was more in his expected title-favorite form throughout Friday’s program Daniels continued that trend by breaking free early in the Main Event Bauman found himself caught up in a four-rider melee that also included Henry Wiles (No I thought last night was the toughest I ever had to ride I had a really good night going… I was feeling really good I got a really good start and was out front Daniels has the early title advantage following Rounds 1 & 2 after grabbing the maximum of 46 points in Daytona and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" More information about our Cookie Policy on our Privacy Policy (KBSI) – According to documents the body of a death investigation has been identified The body was identified as Cassandra Nicole Beasley Cassandra’s body was found on November 20th and an investigation began into her death Cassandras husband Michael Allen Beasley was arrested for aggravated domestic battery/strangulation according to arrest records but he has since been released from Willaimson County Jail An investigation is ongoing after a body was found in Herrin at around 5:20 pm the Herrin Police Department responded to the 600 Block of N 13th St and the individual was later pronounced deceased by the Williamson County Coroner on scene At that time the Herrin Police Investigations Unit was contacted to conduct an investigation The Williamson County Major Case Squad was then activated for assistance in the investigation as well as the Illinois State Police Crime Scene The Herrin Police Department says his is an isolated incident and there is no further threat to public safety © 2025 KBSI FOX23 News Cape Girardeau News | Paducah News
