El Paso Times

An opinion piece in the El Paso Times argues that Washington should adopt Texas's approach to nutrition policy. The column is drawing attention in the El Paso region, though no specific policy details are available beyond the headline claim. The piece signals an ongoing debate over which level of government should set dietary and food standards.

A court ruling means El Paso County will continue receiving anti-terrorism grant money without having to make changes to how it runs its elections. The decision resolves a dispute over whether federal homeland security funding to the Texas county was tied to election-related conditions. Local officials had been awaiting the outcome, and the ruling allows the funding stream to continue unchanged while attention on election administration remains high.
