KLTV has an update on the smoke from the Eastman plant in Longview as well as power outages across East Texas.
Just pray for the safety of the people that work there. There is a problem there and we need to pray that they are all safe.
It was nice to meet and chat with you a little bit ago. Thank you for updates!
Thank You!
Thank you
Thank u so much
Thank you bob
Thank you Bob, KLTV always keeps us informed.
Thank you for for the “correct” information!
Thank you! I’m surprised Eastman doesn’t have back-up generators.
TVEC and other regional power providers are responding to widespread power blinks this afternoon. The problem appears to be on the transmission grid that serves a large area of East Texas. We are working with transmission providers and will update information regarding this situation as soon as possible.
Text from CCECA: CCECA has been required by our supplier to shed load in Southern Cherokee Cty due to circumstances beyond their control. Power will be restored as soon as we are allowed to do so.
Thanks
Thanks
So why are they turning on their sirens? You can hear them clearly over him speaking.
I'd be curious to know which power plant tripped given that ERCOT has an "all hands off" issued due to the high temperatures during peak hours
Thanks mustache man!!
Turn up ur ac when heat is extreme. TXu sent out notice last wk to turn up ac & turn off lights not in use. Hopefully it will be back up Soon for all.
If y’all would follow Swepco you would see that it happened at the substation over by Eastman. Not at Eastman. It is affecting the transmission lines that give us our power.
What's being buried off. I'm down wind??????
No power in Henderson County

Residents appeared before the Commissioners Court to offer their opinions on the proposed county budget and tax rate. In short, they believed the tax rate, which despite a slight decrease results in a significant property tax increase, was too high and asked the commissioners to spend more on fixing the county’s road system. Do you agree?
Residents question proposed county tax rate, funding for county roads
heraldbanner.com
A handful of Hunt County residents appeared before the Hunt County Commissioners Court Friday, to offer their opinions during the first public hearing on the proposed county budget and taxThey should stop giving all the tax breaks to commercial and businesses coming into the county. Hunt County is cheap enough to build in now, you don’t have to give away the farm. You are placing an unfair burden on citizens to pick up the slack.
The appraisal district needs to learn how to do justifiable appraisals by going out and looking the properties instead deciding what percentage increases to apply. Texas has the worst appraisal system properties, the tax rates stay the same and appraisal generate enormous increase in tax revenue. The taxing authorities continue to WASTE and ASK for more.
County commissioners are not competent enough to fill a pot hole but if one will follow our tax money you will find the good roads. Kickbacks come in many forms.
Here are the current proposed tax rates for Hunt County fiscal year of 2019-2020. The estimated total for a homeowner in Greenville would pay a total of $3,981.45 ($762.75 + $1,023.30 + $1,842 + $353.40) in taxes on a house valued at $150,000.
Entities detail proposed property tax rates
heraldbanner.com
Through the coming weeks, taxing entities in Hunt County will be amending and approving their budgets and property tax rates for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.Is there a wish to slash the salary of those making the decision on the 3 cents tax increase? The money slashed from their salary would then go into fixing up the streets! 😣

Greenville voters can come to the landmark on Lee Street, corner of Lee and King Street in downtown Greenville and sign our petition to Freeze city of Greenville property tax for Seniors. We will be here until 4 PM. This will ease the burden on our seniors. Thanks!
I do not agree with this proposal!
What about a hunt county home owner outside of Greenville city limits ?
Petition to FREEZE City of Greenville taxes for Senior Citizens. We will be here till 4PM today. Landmark on Lee. Corner Lee and King st. Downtown Greenville. Please help! Thanks!
Brandon Frie 😭
I like to FREEZE Royse City property taxes too we're in HUNT COUNTY 😂
For annual taxes of $3,981 divided by 12 months is $331 a month, in addition to your mortgage payment, for a $150k house😩
Seems like the tax rates are high in every county east of DFW

Need 2 cent sales tax and get rid of property taxes. Then everyone pays taxes
Wtf!
Bob Romero
Going to make landlords richer this way by people selling their affordable houses.. it’s unfortunate
It's not just taxes going up. Just wait till they value your $100,000 house at $300,000. Like what happened in Plano that's why I moved but it looks like it's going to happen Everywhere. Apparently no matter where you live if you can't afford to live you're going to become homeless the whole America is going to become what's happening to San Francisco
They are just going going cook the books they doubled the value of our land this year just so they can get more money
Daphne Bishop
Not sure how the city expects everyone to be able to afford a home with these ridiculous tax rates - we can not compare ourselves to the DFW metroplex when jobs in this area do not pay near what they do in the metroplex - most people around here make between 15-20 an hour and that’s being generous with those numbers -
I hope mine is different.The value of my home is double that.I live in the county though.I'll sell my home and move into those overpriced apartments on the lake.They are as big as my house and I wont be paying taxes
Tonia Majchrzak Colwell this is ridiculous
That's about almost the same amout that some people pay in taxes in dallas for a new house thats worth way more! You guys seriously need to vote all the people out of office.
