David GarciaDave Garcia:

Dave Garcia was born in South El Paso on December 17, 1953. He went to St.Patrick Elementary School before attending prep school at Jesuit Preparatory. In 1972 he started college at University of Dallas, then finished at Southern Methodist University in Journalism.

During that summer while on his way to Nursing School, KTSM TV came calling. Since David had worked at KROD radio between school semesters, the move to a full-time radio job seemed logical.   Read more about Dave

Before he takes off for the holiday, Rep Reyes has some work ahead.

El Paso’s U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes will have holiday weekend off but before he takes off he joined a majority in the House of Representatives who support a new law that will provide tax relief for middle class families and create thousands of new “green collar” jobs. It’s called  The Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act

The bill extends the federal tax deduction for state and local sales taxes, but since Texas does not have an income tax, Texans we’ll get nothing out of this part of the bill, but the bill also provides tax relief to homeowners who do not itemize their deductions. Now they’ll get as much as a  $350 deduction for single tax payers for property taxes, in addition to their standard deduction.  

Teachers will also get a deduction for teachers who pay for classroom expenses out of their own pockets. If the bill passes we’ll extend the current deduction for college tuition.
