As the number of people found dead from the July 4 floods in Central Texas grew to at least 109 on Tuesday, state officials revealed that even more people remain missing. In other news, Gaines County, the epicenter of the massive Texas measles outbreak that began in January, no longer has ongoing measles transmission. The Department of State Health Services released its weekly measles update, which included no new measles cases reported in the outbreak over the past week; the Dallas Police Department Fugitive Unit and the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force arrested 99 people in June as part of Operation Justice Trail; and Dale Petroskey, the CEO of the Dallas Regional Chamber, will step down at the end of the year. Petroskey has led the chamber for nearly 12 years and cited personal reasons for his departure, including his wife’s recent pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Learn more about your ad choices.
