  • 2021 Rio Grande Valley/Deep S. Texas Hurricane Guide
    The Official Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas HURRICANE GUIDE 2021 IT ONLY TAKES ONE STORM! weather.gov/rgv A Letter to Residents After more than a decade of near-misses, 2020 reminded the Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas that hurricanes are still a force to be reckoned with. Hurricane Hanna cut a swath from Padre Island National Seashore in Kenedy County through much of the Rio Grande Valley in late July, leaving nearly $1 billion in agricultural and property damage it its wake. While many may now think that we’ve paid our dues, that sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth! The combination of atmospheric and oceanic patterns favorable for a landfalling hurricane in the Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas region can occur in any season, including this one. Residents can use the experience of Hurricane Hanna in 2020 as a great reminder to be prepared in 2021. Hurricanes bring a multitude of hazards including flooding rain, damaging winds, deadly storm surge, and tornadoes. These destructive forces can displace you from your home for months or years, and there are many recent cases in the United States and territories where this has occurred. Hurricane Harvey (2017), Michael (2018, Florida Panhandle), and Laura (2020, southwest Louisiana) are just three such devastating events. This guide can help you and your family get prepared. Learn what to do before, during and after a storm. Your plan should include preparations for your home or business, gathering supplies, ensuring your insurance is up to date, and planning with your family for an evacuation.

  • Presentation on South Texas Border Initiatives
    PRESENTATION ON SOUTH TEXAS BORDER INITIATIVES Teri Flack, Deputy Commissioner Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Before the House Border and International Affairs Committee March 6, 2003 _____________________________________________________ Overview of the South Texas Border Initiatives In 1989, the 71st Texas Legislature began the South Texas/Border Initiative. Appropriations were increased and measures implemented to enhance the scope and quality of higher education institutions and programs along the Texas-Mexico Border. Most people acknowledge that the LULAC v. Richards lawsuit supported by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) was a catalyst for this initiative. The lawsuit alleged that South Texas and Border universities were not getting their fair share of funding from the state. The lawsuit noted differences in quantity and quality of academic programs at these universities compared to those in other areas of the state. Although the Texas Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s ruling in favor of MALDEF, the Legislature decided that it would be in the best interest of the state to enhance the South Texas/Border Region. There is general agreement that nine institutions were a part of the initiative: • Texas A&M International University, • Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, • Texas A&M University-Kingsville, • The University of Texas at Brownsville, • The University of Texas at El Paso, • The University of Texas-Pan American, • The University of Texas at San Antonio, • Sul Ross State University (including Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College), and • The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. In some biennia, Texas Tech University, the University of Houston, and Texas A&M University also received funding to support programs in the Border region as part of the South Texas Border Initiative.

    Case 5:18-cv-00071 Document 27 Filed in TXSD on 07/06/18 Page 1 of 15 United States District Court Southern District of Texas ENTERED UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT July 06, 2018 SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS David J. Bradley, Clerk LAREDO DIVISION THE KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN § RAILWAY COMPANY, et al., § § Plaintiffs, § VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:18-CV-71 § BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE § ENGINEERS AND TRAINMEN, et al., § § Defendants. § MEMORANDUM & ORDER The plaintiffs in this case—The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCSR) and The Texas Mexican Railway Company (Tex-Mex) (collectively, “the Railroads”)—are a pair of railway companies that operate, at least in part, in South Texas. Defendant Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (the Union) is a labor union that represents the Railroads’ employees. Defendant Chris Heise is the Union’s general chairman. This case arises from a dispute over whether the Railroads are entitled to shift their point of interchange for trains that cross the U.S.-Mexico border from the border itself to a rail yard nine miles away in Laredo, Texas. The Union argues that the collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) between the parties do not allow the Railroads to make this change. The Union also argues that the change would run afoul of certain administrative-agency orders and regulations. The Railroads disagree with the Union’s arguments in every respect and say that they intend to shift their point of interchange from the border to the Laredo rail yard on July 9, 2018. The Union has threatened to strike in response. Pending before the Court is the Railroads’ “Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary Injunction.” (Dkt.

Abstract This report documents the analysis of the transportation and economic impacts of Texas short line railroads. Survey invitations were sent to 43 Texas short line railroads and 20 responses were received. The research team completed onsite interviews with 5 railroads and 3 community leaders. The software IMPLAN was used to estimate the economic impact of short line railroads at both county-level and state-level. Transportation impact analysis was conducted to estimate the cost by rail and the cost by diverted truck. Shipping cost, safety cost, maintenance cost, highway congestion cost, and emission cost were calculated in this analysis.

  • Dennis R. Pierce National President, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen President, Teamsters Rail Conference
    TESTIMONY OF DENNIS R. PIERCE NATIONAL PRESIDENT, BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS AND TRAINMEN PRESIDENT, TEAMSTERS RAIL CONFERENCE BEFORE THE HOUSE TRANSPORTATION & INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON RAILROADS, PIPELINES, AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS THE STATE OF THE RAIL WORKFORCE JUNE 20, 2019 Good morning, Chairman Lipinski, Ranking Member Crawford, and Members of the Sub- committee. I appreciate the opportunity to appear before you this morning. I also want to thank Chairman DeFazio for kindly inviting me to testify today, and for his and Ranking Member Graves’ leadership of the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. My name is Dennis Pierce, and I am the National President of the oldest trade union in North America, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, which was founded in 1863. I also am the President of the Teamsters Rail Conference, of which the BLET is the founding Union. The subject of today’s hearing is “The State of the Rail Workforce.” I have a number of comments and observations regarding this question on a national scale. Although the productivity of the rail workforce has never been better, that increased productivity does not always translate into reliable or safe jobs. Productivity is going ever upward, but employment levels are headed in the other direction, with many hundreds — if not several thousand — in furlough status as I sit here today. A small fraction of this likely is due to a modest downturn in traffic currently being expe- rienced. A more significant portion is due to the deployment of technologies as “labor-replacing” rather than “labor-saving” devices. But the most serious threat looming over the horizon — at least in the short term — is the industry’s fascination with Precision Scheduled Railroading.
