This past year was undoubtably one of the toughest bottom-line years for Shekeya McCallister.
“I worked for a non-profit organization but I lost my job. I was able to obtain another job. However, the start date never came because of COVID,” said the Killeen woman.
McCallister went months filling out job applications, looking for a way to support her family, but her troubles didn’t stop there.
“I wasn’t able to file for unemployment because I didn’t qualify. I was basically without a job for a whole year,” she said.

"I started first as a lifeguard, and then a swimming instructor where I taught lessons, and after that I moved up to pool manager," she said.

WACO, TX — Brazos Electric Cooperative, Texas' oldest and largest generation and transmission electric cooperative, filed a voluntarily petition of relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy code.
"This is a financial restructuring; this is not going to affect our operations or provision of electricity to our members at all," Executive Vice President Clifton Karnei said.
This comes after the devastating 2021 Texas winter storm.
ERCOT sent them a bill for $2.1 billion which they were expected to pay in only a few days.

A New Year also means a new rate of pay for several Americans.
Texas is not one of those states but some believe the minimum wage, which is $7.25, should also be increased, especially for those in the service industry.
“$7.25 an hour does not pay a living. That’s why you have parents that are working two to three jobs. That’s why you have children that are in homes. Daycare for one child is $500 a month in certain areas. That $7.25 doesn’t secure any family financially,” said Killeen resident Khandiese Cooper.
