CPS bills wonโt include extra costs from winter outages for now; CEO stops short of promising it wonโt ever happen
SAN ANTONIO โ CPS Energy CEO Paula Gold-Williams says the electric utility will use โevery tool in our toolboxโ to get the cost of last weekโs power crisis down. Still, she stopped short on Tuesday of promising that customers would not eventually shoulder that cost. The CPS CEO said that was the utilityโs goal, but did not directly commit to the cost reaching customers in some capacity. But for whatever bill we had, what we would do is smooth out the cost,โ Gold-Williams said. Fuel costs are typically passed down to CPS customers through the โfuel adjustmentโ charge on their bills.

Commissioner-elect supports proposal for mental health care unit at Bexar County Jail
SAN ANTONIO โ The inability to provide adequate resources to Bexar County Jail inmates with mental health issues is why Sheriff Javier Salazar said creating a mental health care unit in the jail is a top priority. Part of the plan includes re-purposing part of the jail for the unit and bringing in mental health care specialists. Precinct 1 Commissioner-elect Rebeca Clay-Flores said she understands that mental health is a major problem that needs to be addressed locally. โA big part of my campaign has been on mental health,โ Clay-Flores said. Before the mental health care unit would come into fruition at the jail, the proposal must be approved by the Bexar County Commissioners Court.
