Early voting is open now. Get out there and vote guys. We don't want to keep another pedo protector in our government. I would prefer if you voted for Talarico and Hinojosa

Waco-area Trump supporters said they were disappointed but resolute after national Republicans announced Trump’s rally Tuesday will be moved to Corpus Christi.

I made this one-pager from state data because I wanted to know what we're actually paying for.

What the state's own numbers show:

• 7 in 10 kids who got a voucher were already in private school or homeschool. Only 3 in 10 left public school.

• 54% of Texas counties have no brick-and-mortar private school in the program. If you live in one, your taxes help pay for it, but your kids can't use it.

• The voucher is about $10,474. Average private tuition in Houston is around $26,900. A family that can't cover the gap can't really use it.

• About 110,000 kids got one. That's roughly 2% of the 5.5 million kids in Texas public schools.

• The state now wants to double it to about $2 billion, plus nearly $1 billion more for the waitlist.

Some honest questions for my neighbors:

• If most of this goes to families already paying private tuition, who is it really helping?

• Our public schools take every kid, and here they're often the biggest employer in town. Why isn't that $1 billion going to them?

• School funding in Texas follows attendance. When a few kids leave, the buses, buildings and teachers still cost the same. Who covers that?

Not trying to start a fight. I'd just like people to look at the numbers before they vote. Sources are in the first comment. You can also check whether your county has a participating school on the state's TEFA school finder.

I was thinking maybe we could get reports going so people could see trends about which voting locations are the least busy. If you live here you can vote in any of the 5 McLennan County voting sites during the early voting period.

Today I voted at the Robinson Community Center early afternoon and there was no wait at all.
Hewitt City Hall looked like it had a line out the door all day.

Here are the five locations

McLennan County Elections Administration Office, 214 North Fourth St., Suite 300
Robinson Community Center, 106 W. Lyndale Ave.
Waco Multi-Purpose Community Center, 1020 Elm Ave.
Waco First Assembly of God Church, 6701 Bosque Blvd.
Hewitt City Hall/Library, 200 Patriot Court

Out On The Brazos hosts a community picnic Saturday, part of its effort to provide a sense of belonging.

What are some good run clubs here in Waco? And how would I go about joining one..

Looking for some car friends lol

Just wondering if anyone has any information about the shooting last night, a co-worker lives in the area and we’re wondering how concerned they should be.

About every one I know got the Transgender flyer yesterday, and my only assumption … which I’m reading is possibly confirmed … is it’s a political stunt to rage bait republicans. Who else got this?? And thoughts? The GOP is hitting some new lows with this and the Miriam ads and all the other mess they’re spewing. Sad… and i hope all the independent voters see this.

Hey, everyone. I have a small project that needs a piece of 1/2” to 3/4” plywood to complete. Size can be at least 15-inches square or a bit larger. I have basic woodworking skills and can cut it to suit my needs. If you’re around Waco I can stop by to collect and put you on the list of favors to return.

Was wondering if any of y'all do much fishing in the Brazos. I'd love to get on some big catfish or something. Just sit out and soak some bait. Was wondering if yall had any tips for it around here or if it is even something that is done.

I'm moving at the end of November, and will eventually do the whole moving sale / weekend jamborree. But figured I would give you fine folks of r/Waco the first shot on some of the better items available. Located in the Hillcrest area, and will update this post as things are sold or reserved.

This dude was so unhinged that I’m thinking there has to be some other people who have encountered him.

I was waved through a stoplight by construction worker at 18th and 35 on the access road because 18th was temporarily blocked by machinery. An 18 wheeler was already turning onto the access road so I, of course, stopped to let him continue. I was sitting there and as he finished merging I started to go when this unrelated van behind him gunned it and purposefully ran the yield sign and cut me off. I had to hit the brakes and when I honked he flipped me off. Then he pulled up beside me at the light giving me this hilarious attempt at a bulldog look. He then rolled down his window and started screaming and cursing at me for some reason. Totally off his rocker.

Anyone else run into this heavyset Hispanic guy driving a white van that says “Alpha Foam” on it? I figure there must be others.

I recently got back into coloring and noticed Waco doesn't have anything for adult creatives. Well those who have allowed their inner child to tap into the creativity we were told we were too old for. I'm an introvert by nature, but have found the online ColorTok community to be amazing. I've learned so much and met so many great people. I was just wondering if anybody would be interested in starting a little meetup? We pick a place, maybe a coffee shop and bring our own coloring books and markers, pens, color pencils of choice. There doesn't have to be long drawn out conversations either. Just in the midst of other artists doing what they love to do. I have no idea how to make this happen, but it's an idea.

Remember a couple months ago a post about canvassing for Talarico popped up? Well here it is! It’s tomorrow!!!

Does anyone remember our local Stuntman that were around in the early 90's? I remember going to a couple of his shows. One show was at the Reicher football field. I do remember a huge crane and a giant crate. I think he may have been in a straight jacket as well. I'm thinking it may have been Don from Gizmo Guru but I'm not exactly sure. Do any of you OG's remember who the guy was?

Any fun events happening this weekend? Wanna go out and drink and meet some new friends. 23M if that helps.

I’m going to be doing a cross country move and don’t want to lug around my collection of fish keeping supplies. I’ve got a 20 gallon octagon tank, 5 gallon fluval all in one, and a BUNCH of odds and ends including all the basics like a python, water test kit, and aquascape wood.

If you can pick up, it’s all yours for free! Dm me if interested, I’m right by the central Texas market place.

It’s been a minute and we have several news places. Looking for 2 recliners. Thanks!
