Still no Love for SB1158
With the most recent check up on SB1158, absolutely NOTHING has happened with it as of yet. The Hall-sponsored bill is still stuck in the Finance Committee of the Texas State Senate. Not only stuck, but yet to even be read (or considered) by the committee. Senator Hall actually explained another one of his bills to the Finance Committee last week, but even that bill was in effect “tabled” as no one else spoke for or...
Say It Isn’t So
The signature product of the Blue Bell Ice Cream Company, Homemade Vanilla, has been added to the recall list. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has added several new products to their recall list including Gold Rim Homemade Vanilla in 1/2 Gallon containers. As retailers everywhere continue to pull Blue Bell products out of their freezers, the public continues to dig in their freezers trying to decipher the date codes...
Hannah Kirby Continues to Advance
In tonight’s dramatic “Results” episode, Hannah Kirby was not saved by our (and the rest of America’s votes) but was saved by her coach, Blake Shelton. In a nerve-racking and very tense moment Hannah stood with Sarah Potenza and Brooke Adee, not knowing her future on “The Voice”. It certainly was reminiscent of Hannah’s Battle Round with Sarah Potenza, when Hannah lost, but was stolen by...
*Updated* Still No Movement on Bill
SB1158 is currently in the Finance Committee of the Texas State Senate. SB1158 would give the voters an opportunity to raise sales tax up to 1/2 cent for the primary purpose of paying down the bonds recently approved for the construction of the new jail. The Bill, sponsored by Texas Senator Bob Hall, was referred to the Finance committee for further review. The Finance Committee, which Senator Hall is not a member, has a very full...
Hannah Nails It
Hannah Kirby was the third performer in last night’s episode of “The Voice”. She sang a Carole King classic, “I Feel the Earth Move” and her performance was impeccable. Even her ex-coach Pharrell Williams said it was “entertainment”. Her own coach Blake Shelton said she was “possessed by the song”. He also called her singing “perfect”. The only way Hannah will...

Blue Bell Halts Production
In a continued effort to solve the Listeria contamination problem, Blue Bell has agreed to halt production at their Oklahoma plant. The plant will remain closed as Blue Bell, working with the FDA, determines the cause of the contamination and is able to resume safe operation. Consumers are urged by the CDC to remove and dispose of any products made from the Broken Arrow, OK plant. Those products are identified with a date...
Sarah Potenza is Hannah’s Toughest Competitor
In a KSST poll, our web users so far have chosen Hannah’s battle round competitor to be her toughest challenge in the upcoming Live Rounds on “The Voice”. As you remember, it was Sarah who beat Hannah in the first head-to-head competition as they sang ‘Gimme Shelter’ in the Battle Round. Hannah was then stolen by Pharrell, and then stolen back to Team Blake after a Knockout Round. The poll is shown...
