- City Manager Tommy Gonzalez is staying in El Paso.
After the El Paso City Council voted Monday to extend Gonzalez's contract in an effort to keep him from leaving, Gonzalez withdrew his name from the applicant pool for the same position in Frisco, Texas.
“I am overwhelmed with the support I have received from the community, our employees, and the City Council. With this in mind, I have removed myself from the city manager search in Frisco, Texas,” Gonzalez said in a city news release Monday. “I’m committed to El Paso. We’re not finished here.”
Gonzalez's contract was amended after council members were in executive session for more than four hours.

- Irion County's Kaegen James knew she was living a dream at Saturday's UIL State Track and Field Championships, and there's part of her that doesn't want to wake up from it.
The senior completed her distinguished career with a state championship in the Class 1A long jump, a silver in the triple jump and a bronze with her teammates Berkley Callaway, Audrey Tillman and Zoe Williams in the 400-meter relay that likely marked her last athletic competition.
She factored in all 30 of Irion County's points as the Hornets finished third in the team standings to get her on the podium one last time.
James went out in glory.

- Truck drivers protest increased inspections at U.S.- Mexico border
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- What began as border crossing delays this weekend had turned into a protest Tuesday. Truckers usually wait two or three hours to cross into El Paso from Juárez. After Gov. Greg Abbott announced new DPS trooper inspections at ports of entry, truckers this week suddenly found themselves in 10-plus hour lines.
Truckers began blocking traffic across the Zaragoza (Ysleta) bridge on Monday, the only way they said they knew how to get attention to their ordeal.
By noon Tuesday, truck drivers had also blocked the commercial lanes at the port of entry in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Companies had routed truckers to Santa Teresa to avoid the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper inspections.
The inspections, and now blockades, stymied commercial truck traffic in much of the borderland, with no end in sight.
