McKinney Minute: Your Daily Dose of Local News
Big political changes came to McKinney this weekend as former city councilman and mayor pro-tem Bill Cox emerged victorious in Saturday's mayoral runoff election. Cox defeated former state lawmaker Scott Sanford by approximately six points, winning by about 1,200 votes with slightly more than 20,000 ballots cast[1]. Cox, who was endorsed by outgoing mayor George Fuller and most of the city council, has expressed support for expanding McKinney's airport despite voters rejecting a bond package for it last month[1].
In community news, residents are preparing for today's memorial service for Floyd Henry Robertson, a 87-year-old Bonham resident. The family will receive visitors starting at 10:00 a.m., with the service beginning at 11:00 a.m[3].
Looking ahead, McKinney has several exciting events on the horizon. Music lovers should mark their calendars for the 29th annual Texas Music Revolution, returning to downtown McKinney in the coming days. This two-day festival showcases both chart-topping and emerging artists in the country and Americana genres[2][5].
For those planning their summer activities, don't forget about McKinney's traditional Juneteenth Celebration coming up soon, promising a day of fun and cultural experiences[5]. The annual Red White and Boom Parade & Fireworks Festival will follow shortly after, traditionally held on July 4th[5].
While specific details about today's weather, pollen count, and air quality weren't immediately available, June in North Texas typically brings warm temperatures and occasional thunderstorms. Residents with allergies should be mindful that grass pollen tends to be high during this time of year.
As McKinney continues to grow and evolve, these recent developments highlight the community's dynamic nature. From political transitions to cultural celebrations, there's always something happening in this vibrant Texas city. Whether you're interested in local governance, entertainment, or community events, McKinney offers plenty of opportunities for engagement and enjoyment as we move further into summer 2025.
