Consider This: We all have a role during this crisis.

Like most companies, we are taking every step possible to protect our employees and plan for worst case scenarios. Because we know you count on us to do our jobs. And more than ever, to do them calmly and professionally.

New Consider This from KCBD General Manager Dan Jackson

In a split vote late Tuesday night, Lubbock City Council voted for the zoning change needed to allow the Lubbock County Expo Center to be built at the location approved by voters more than a year ago.

Early voting is underway for the March 3rd primary, until February 28th. That means you have two full weeks and the added conveniences offered to early voters.

The tremendous display of honor for Lubbock’s fallen first responders has once again revealed the true spirit of compassion, respect, and empathy so unique to our community.

Is it time for public surveillance cameras in Lubbock?

Giving is what characterizes the Holiday Season and I can imagine no community more generous than Lubbock and the South Plains.

The veterans that travel every year on the South Plains Honor Flight have embodied every meaning of the word honor.

Read this week's Consider This from KCBD General Manager Dan Jackson

As I watched the tragic events in Odessa unfold this weekend, I was reminded what I said here just last week. From a law enforcement officer’s perspective, there is no such thing as a routine traffic stop.

Consider this … we sometimes hear the phrase “routine traffic stop.” Make no mistake, there is no such thing as a *routine* traffic stop. From KCBD General Manager Dan Jackson

Consider this… Put the safety of our children first. Let’s put down the phones, watch for the designated school zones, and really look out for the kids.

Last week KCBD celebrated our 2019 Community Coverage Tour broadcasting from the communities of Tahoka, Littlefield, Plains, Petersburg and Shallowater.

Whether it’s a dead animal, a mosquito problem, or any other city related issue here in Lubbock, all you need to know is call 3-1-1.

Consider this... get your guns up Red Raiders, this is the Year of the Matador and we’re only halfway through.

Consider this... Commissioners need to learn from past mistakes when choosing the next Lubbock County Medical Examiner.

Public safety is a choice and it is time the city of Lubbock chose to put the safety of its citizens ahead of ivory towers and civic center expansions.

Consider this... our support made a difference and got the attention of lawmakers when it came to the Texas Tech vet school.

Consider This... support HB 281 and stop using our taxes to lobby against us!

I can’t say enough about what Coach Chris Beard and his Red Raider basketball team have accomplished for Texas Tech and Lubbock. The combination of excellence, teamwork, class and humility demonstrated by these young men make them Lubbock’s and Texas Tech’s finest ambassadors.

As the 87th Legislature passes the halfway point this week, the most important issue to Lubbock and Texas Tech is the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine.

Last week, by appointing not one but two outstanding Lubbock citizens to the Tech Board of Regents, Governor Greg Abbott let loyal Texas Tech supporters know he has heard our voices when it comes to our school.

Consider This: Our Medical Examiner problems seem to be going from bad to worse, it is time for the commissioners to act quickly to fix the problems.

Last week, in a coalition led by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, both the Texas House and Senate filed identical property tax reform bills.

I commend Kirby Hocutt’s efforts to continually improve the Red Raider game-day experience. Tickets for the the entire family are a premium entertainment item and Hocutt continues to find ways to add value.
