Michael Ciaglo/Houston ChronicleYou might want to reconsider any plans in Galveston this weekend.

The road will eventually go underneath I-45 once a new overpass is built in the coming years.

DICKINSON, Texas – A mayoral race in Galveston County will be decided in an unusual, but not unprecedented, way. A recount Tuesday confirmed that each candidate received 1,010 votes of the 2,020 votes that were cast. In this case, the names of each candidate will be placed in a hat. The drawing will happen at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Dickinson City Council Chambers, where the mayor of neighboring Friendswood will draw the name. Some races have been decided by other games of chance such as flipping a coin or drawing cards.

It was Bellaire, who was one game away from reaching the state tourney. The Cards made school history for the second time last year, advancing to the Regional Finals. Well, their three stars return, so state is a legit aspiration. District MVP Jaylon Calvin and first-teamer Elijah Lawrence (Rice-commit) make up the best backcourt in the city.

Galveston County Judge Mark Henry signed an executive order Friday prohibiting the requirement to wear a face mask while voting. The county will enforce a $1,000 fine against poll workers who turn away voters who don’t wear a mask.

He also admitted that he was also turned away from voting because he refused to wear a mask. “This is a significant constitutional issue,” Henry said during the press conference.

DICKINSON, Texas – A Texas Ranger arrived at Dickinson City Hall on Monday with a subpoena for records. City Administrator Chris Heard met with him briefly but said he can’t talk about what they discussed.

Dickinsons lawsuit followed a 2014 television interview in which she accused Cosby of raping her in 1982.

Last month, Cosbys attorneys urged the appellate-level Pennsylvania Superior Court to either throw out his guilty verdict in the Constand case or grant him a new trial.
