City of Carlsbad update: A note on HB 212
Dale Janway
The push for Carlsbad’s college to become independent had another great day on Wednesday. Rep. Brown’s HB 212 passed through the Education Committee with a DO PASS recommendation by a vote of 9-4. Many local students, faculty and staff members spoke in support of independence, and we sincerely appreciate the incredible show of support. We also received more great comments of support from representatives in the area around San Juan College, who went independent many years ago. Sen. Gay Kernan’s mirror bill, SB 236, is on the schedule to be heard late Wednesday.

Camping at Guadalupe Mountains National Park (National Park Service)
Houstonians who are willing to trade city life for camp life can do so by volunteering at a Texas national park.
Guadalupe Mountains National Park, located south of the Texas-New Mexico border, is looking for several volunteers to set up camp for three months straight at one of three campsites.
Volunteers can choose between the Pine Springs or Dog Canyon Campgrounds and camp either October through December or July through September.
Volunteers needed! We are still looking for a campground host for July, August, and September of this year at our Pine.Posted by Guadalupe Mountains National Park on Wednesday, January 27, 2021
