The Kerrville City Council unanimously approved a resolution that notes its opposition to a rock and concrete operation that would be sited near three of the city's most important manufacturing operations. The proposed rock crushing would be located just south of Texas 27 and Al Mooney Road near the Kerrville-Kerr County Airport. It's also outside of the city limits and the only action the city can take is voicing its opposition to the plan.  What the resolution specified is that the city wants the plan to be more thoroughly reviewed.   Kerrville City Manager Mark McDaniel told the City Council that the city isn't exactly sure what impact the project would have on the air quality in the area, where manufacturers James Avery Artisan Jewelry, Fox Tank Company and the future site of Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing.  "We’ve got an area out there that’s very important to us," Kerrville Mayor Bill Blackburn said.

A Kerrville couple was in the middle of Wednesday’s pro-President Trump protests at the U.S. Capitol Building, and they are the first to admit they were proud to be there.   Leigh and David Gibson flew to Washington D.C. on Tuesday to participate in rallies to support President Trump, who is still fighting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Of course, Wednesday was the day that Congress was going to certify the Electoral College but that was delayed when hundreds of people stormed the U.S. Capitol.   There has been plenty of blame placed on Trump for what happened at the Capitol, but the Gibsons see it differently.   “We are not incited by (Trump),” Leigh Gibson said. “We have done our own homework. We are not stupid. In fact, I left his speech early because he’s not telling us anything new. So, we headed out. We marched from the Washington Monument to the Capitol, and that’s when my mother called me and said they’ve breached the Capitol. We just kept marching.” It was durin
