Amarillo business owner Craig Gualtiere to present petition forcing vote on City Hall project

Roasters Coffee & Tea owner Craig Gualtiere will submit a 10,000-signature petition to the City of Amarillo on Tuesday, that could force a public vote on the new City Hall project. “We have successfully compiled more than enough signatures which requires the Amarillo City Council to allow Amarillo voters to decide whether or not they agree with the Council’s decision to move our City Hall. “I believe it is critical for Amarillo residents to have the right to vote on this project. After all, we will be the ones footing the bill for decades to come. Whether or not you agree with moving City Hall, we simply cannot allow the city to use certificates of obligation as a vehicle to go around voters," Gualtiere said. 13th Congressional District Rep. Ronny Jackson has weighed in on the proposed use of certificates of obligation to fund the renovation or relocation of Amarillo's current City Hall. Jackson let citizens know about a petition that would force city leaders to put th

'Disgraceful': Abbott slams Ben & Jerry's for Palestine support

Texas is weighing its options for sanctions against Ben & Jerry's after the company announced its decision to not sell its products in Israeli-occupied areas. Earlier this week, the famous ice cream maker announced it would cease sales of its products in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and in east Jerusalem. "We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)," Ben & Jerry’s said in a statement. Several GOP leaders have since called for a boycott of the socially-outspoken company, including Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who wrote on Twitter, "If Ben & Jerry’s wants to have a meltdown & boycott Israel, OK [Okla.] is ready to respond." Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott is now joining Lankford in his calls for action, with a representative of Abbott's calling the move "disgraceful," according to The Huffington Post. The state's comptroller, Glenn Hegar, is e

Big 12 officials discuss extra revenue shares for Texas, Oklahoma

Big 12 officials have discussed a structure in which Texas and Oklahoma would receive additional revenue shares as a way of enticing the two schools to remain in the conference rather than pursue a future in the SEC, conference sources have told several news outlets. Such a structure would grant the Longhorns and Sooners an additional half-share annually (1.5 shares each), bumping their payouts to approximately $56 million per year. The other eight schools would decrease their payouts accordingly. Big 12 schools currently average $37 million in annual TV rights earnings, including revenue from bowl games and the NCAA Tournament. The topic became a discussion point Thursday night during the conference call with Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Texas and Oklahoma were not part of the call. One person familiar with the conversation stressed the revenue share idea was "from the 50,000-foot level" and preliminary in nature. Texas and Oklahoma are expected to inform the Big 12 ea
