Texas News Minute, EP2 - James

The main ideas from this information are: - The heat dome will continue to keep the area hot and dry through the last weekend of July and into next week, with temperatures reaching 103 to 105 degrees. - Texas voters will have to decide in a constitutional election on November 7th whether to approve a $12.7 billion package of property tax cuts, which would provide savings to property owners suffering from high tax bills. If approved, the cuts would be applied for the 2023 tax bills due in January.
