We're starting this Saturday with some important reminders and updates affecting your weekend plans. Today is Small Business Saturday, a nationwide tradition that falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you're looking to support local, there are over 36 million independent businesses across the country, and here in El Paso we have some great options worth checking out. Local spots like DOCs Unique Collectibles are ready for the holiday rush. This day has generated over 210 billion dollars in sales since it started back in 2010, so your shopping really does make a difference for our local economy.
Speaking of our local business community, there's some good news coming down the pipeline. A new Texas law called House Bill 9 is set to take effect in the new year, and it's going to exempt businesses from paying taxes on up to 125 thousand dollars worth of inventory. That includes city, county, and school district taxes. Business owners like Sarah Miller from Margin Notes Book Bar are already expressing relief, saying the money they save can go toward better wages and hiring more employees.
Now, we need to alert you to some traffic impacts at our border crossings. We're seeing significant congestion this Friday afternoon at the Bridge of the Americas on US 54 and at the Ysleta-Zaragoza International Bridge on Loop 375. This is stemming from a backlog of around 20 thousand trucks that built up during recent Mexican protests. While Mexican federal officials reached a deal with protesters on Thursday to lift the blockades, those trucks are all trying to cross now, so expect delays if you're heading that direction.
On the sports front, UTEP football is wrapping up their Conference USA season today with a matchup against Delaware. The Miners are heading to Newark with a 2-9 record, playing their final CUSA game after 20 seasons in the conference. Kickoff is at 11 AM Mountain Time, and you can catch the action on 600 ESPN El Paso or stream it on ESPN Plus.
If you have information about fugitives wanted by local law enforcement, Crime Stoppers of El Paso is encouraging anyone with tips to call 915-566-8477. You can remain anonymous, and if your information leads to an arrest, you may qualify for a cash reward.
As we head into the afternoon, make sure to bundle up if you're heading outside. Keep an eye on local weather updates for any changes to your weekend plans.
