"El Paso Electric Rate Hike Rejected, Road Closures, Summer Weather, and Community Spirit"
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, June 27, 2025. We start today with city hall news that impacts all of us. The El Paso City Council has voted unanimously to reject a proposed ninety three million dollar rate hike from El Paso Electric. If it had passed, our typical monthly bill could have jumped by about twenty two dollars. Council members argued the hike was not fully justified, and now, city attorneys and the utility will try to negotiate. If they do not reach a deal by August, the state’s Public Utility Commission will step in, so we will keep watching what this means for our summer bills and wallets.
On the roads today, expect continued lane closures across El Paso as city crews work on major projects. I 10 West at Sunland Park remains partially closed, and there are rolling closures along North and South Desert, as well as on Dyer from Angora to Mesquite Flor. Remember to plan extra time through these busy stretches and consider alternate routes to avoid delays. These projects are scheduled to wrap up by the end of the month, weather permitting.
Speaking of weather, we are looking at clear skies this morning with a high near ninety degrees, climbing to the mid nineties by Saturday. It is a great day for outdoor activities, but be sure to stay hydrated as the afternoon heat sets in.
Looking ahead to the weekend, our downtown comes alive with the El Paso Chihuahuas taking on the Sugar Land Space Cowboys at Southwest University Park. There is also the Pages and Pints Book and Brew Festival happening Saturday at Old Sheepdog Brewery, featuring local writers, music, and plenty of food and drinks inspired by the spirit of Chuco Punk. And do not forget, next week’s big Fourth of July celebration will be at Cleveland Square Park with music, food trucks, and of course, fireworks.
In business news, the city is celebrating the opening of the Lizbeth Avila Skate Park in Northeast El Paso, honoring the late El Pasoan skater and giving local youth a new space to gather and skate.
On the education front, the Ysleta School District has finalized its budget for the coming year. Despite a significant twenty two million dollar deficit, the district is granting employees pay raises and avoiding layoffs by tapping into its reserves, showing a commitment to supporting staff during challenging times.
Turning to public safety, a shooting in the Lower Valley yesterday left one person dead and four suspects now in custody. Police are still investigating, and they are asking for any witnesses to come forward. The department recently graduated a new class of officers, reducing the academy’s training time while promising to keep high standards.
On a brighter note, our community spirit shines through as volunteers turn out to support flood recovery efforts in Northeast El Paso after this week’s heavy rains. Neighbors are helping neighbors clean up and rebuild, showing once again what makes El Paso strong.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
