2001 was a very active year for
Yancey VFD-
The department recently received
a $5,80p: grant from the Texas Com-
mission of Fire Protection to purchase
six additional sets of bunker gear and
equipment.
Yancey VFD has come a long way
in the six years of its existence, thanks
to the hard work and dedication of its
members and to the generosity of car-
ing and supportive community.
The members of Yancey VFD ap-
preciate that support and show it by
participating in an ongoing training
program. This program will help pro-
vide the best fire protection and emer-
gency medical care available to the
Yancey community.
Austin Rep Tracy O King said
that during the legislative session this
past spring. Texas lawmakers passed
legislation to help provide working
families with more job opportunities,
promote economic development,
and assist workers
“We took some steps this past ses-
sion that will allow us to provide
more educational and job training
programs so we can have a better
skilled and qualified workforce,"
King said. “We are also currently
working on further reducing unem-
ployment specific to rural areas "
Rep. King said that with the cur-
rent national economic situation, it
is important that Texas continue to
support business, workers, and eco-
nomic development. Last session,
the legislature worked to give busi-
nesses and workers the tools to im-
prove Texas’ economy.
To encourage more businesses to
open in Texas, the legislature ap-
proved the Texas Economic Devel-
opment Act. The act gives local of-
ficials the option to negotiate limi-
tations on property taxes for busi-
nesses to compete with economic
incentives offered by other states.
Businesses are required to meet strict
criteria, and the program provides
local control so the specific needs of
the community are addressed.
“Local authorities need to be able
to attract large-scale capital invest-
ments,” King said. “The legislation
we passed empowers them with the
ability to help create more job op-
portunities.”
Rep King said that workers and
businesses in Texas will benefit from
a substantial legislative overhaul of
the workers' compensation insurance
system The changes allow the Texas
Workers' Compensation Commission
(TWCC) to more effectively regulate
the medical care in the system to
lower medical costs and tune missed
from work as well as increase patient
and health care provider satisfaction
Rep King also said that to help
cities and local governments pro-
mote economic development, law-
makers created the Better Jobs Act
Under the plan, cities with voter ap-
proval are able to use sales tax rev-
enue to fund economic development
projects, including job training, early
childhood development, after-school
programs, literacy classes that pro-
vide child-care and scholarships.
Rep. King added that any money a
city chooses to invest in child-care
programs would also be eligible to
draw down additional local-match
federal child-care funding.
“Achieving long-term economic-
progress for rural Texas is very im-
portant to me and our current House
leadership,” King said. "Being able
to coordinate our efforts with those
of community and business leaders
will help us obtain our goals and en-
sure future economic success.”
For more information on economic-
development or any other issue, Rep.
King encourages those interested to
