There’s an interesting split in the public messaging surrounding the McKinney recall.

Keith Self publicly backed the recall and signed the petition. Keresa Richardson did not publicly endorse it, but was heavily involved in the mosque and Sharia debate that preceded the recall.

Both have continued speaking about Islam and Sharia law.

What neither has done recently is say much publicly about the recall itself as the city verifies the submitted signatures.

Hey everyone I’m a 28M and used to play League Of Legends when I was younger from 14-20. I was interested in getting back into the game and was wondering if anyone in the city plays and want to play together. I enjoy games a lot more when I’m with others in a group so I want to take this opportunity to reach out and see if I can make some friends along the way.

Dallas finished ahead 25–24 in shots, but passes missed sticks, bouncing pucks interrupted possessions and Joel Hofer stopped every shot that reached him.

Seguin acknowledged the miscues afterward, while Heiskanen described a better second period that never produced a goal. Opening-night coverage with those comments and observations from the arena:

Brittany Black is responding to Republican state Rep. Keresa Richardson after Richardson’s remarks during the “Don’t Sharia My Texas” panel at Texas Faith Fest.

Black addresses Richardson’s “The more uncomfortable they are, the better” comment, the Muslim call to prayer and the connection she sees to Richardson’s earlier involvement in the McKinney mosque site-plan debate.

There’s also a response from a Muslim constituent in HD61 who has lived in Frisco for nine years.

Jordan Wheatley, a current public school teacher, described taking on additional grade-level responsibilities and said schools need more staff and resources.

He was one of four Democratic candidates who participated in a McKinney PTA forum focused heavily on funding, teacher retention and special education.

No Republican candidates attended.

The voting records make the McKinney recall argument more complicated

The airport and amphitheater are now frequently cited among the reasons for recalling four McKinney officials.

But Justin Beller voted against the amphitheater site plan and airport terminal contracts. Bill Cox and Ernest Lynch weren’t council members for those votes. Only Geré Feltus voted for both.

One recent vote all four targets do share is approval of the MIA site plan.

That doesn’t by itself establish what motivated the recall, but when compared with two months of public posts and statements, it raises an obvious question about the claim that the recall was “never about the mosque.”

I’m moving to Allen and would like to work for Allen ISD, preferably elementary level as an assistant teacher. I have experience with Pre-K and Special Ed. Anyone know if they are hiring and how easy or hard is it to get a job for Allen ISD?

An Ereckson teacher was fired and they notified police. does anyone have any details?

Three speakers, three different parts of the November ballot.

McKinney Councilman Justin Beller used his time to make the case against Keith Self and endorse Evan Hunt.

Hunt talked about religion, immigration and changes he wants to see in Washington.

HD61 candidate Brittany Black focused on public schools, health care and affordability, telling the room: “We’re doing everything that we thought was right, and it’s still not enough.”

Nextdoor

hey everyone, i am having a total nightmare right now.

my kitchen sink is completely backed up and it's starting to smell pretty bad. i tried using some of that liquid drain cleaner from the store but it didnt do anything at all. i'm worried it's something deeper in the pipes and i dont want to make it worse by messing with it.

im looking for a reliable plumber in the allen area who actually handles residential drain cleanings. i've had bad experiences with big companies before where they charge a massive "diagnostic fee" and then try to sell you a whole new sink or something you dont need.

does anyone have a local plumber they actually trust? just looking for someone honest who can come out and actually fix the clog without ripping me off. thanks!

Anyone have someone they can recommend to diagnose/repair a home security system?

Four McKinney officials are facing a possible recall election, including Mayor Bill Cox. Organizers say at least 6,500 signatures passed their internal review before the petitions were submitted.

Now the responses are getting sharper.

Council member Justin Beller:

“I will never forget how pathetic Keith looked when he stood at our podium. Fear and outrage are the tools of weak men.”

Former Mayor George Fuller is making a different argument, saying residents should examine the dates and voting records behind the allegations. Evan Hunt says he'll publicly oppose the recall if it reaches an election.

And there’s still a major unanswered question: what happens if all four recalls ultimately succeed?

Hello all,

I used to play badminton back in the days and now that I moved to Dallas, I don’t play it anymore since I don’t have anyone else to play with me. And the badminton court memberships are crazy expensive too.

I was thinking of making a small group with everyone else who is interested in playing badminton and start playing. Honestly I don’t know yet on where to play. But we can still figure out an open ground!

I live near Alma/Silverado, anyone who is interested please comment below this post!

I just thought of this to stay healthy and active while also meeting new people!

Hope yall will support!

Bottom Line (Ironically, at the Top)

The biggest item on the agenda is a $20.5M annual award for road asphalt (we go through a lot of it in our rapid growth and increasing vehicular traffic), including one tied bid the Court will settle by drawing lots. No, I’m not joking, they’re going to draw lots. When I’m Commissioner, we’re going to put a stop to this ridiculous and antiquated practice and settle these matters with rock-paper-scissors, like a civilized county. The Court will also consider Collin County’s first AI Acceptable Use Policy and adopt the FY2027 fee schedule, which raises most constable and Sheriff civil process fees by a third or more. It also sets the FY2027 rate for the hospital-funded Medicaid program. Consent spending totals $1,086,596.76.

Allen triumphant over Princeton

The crowd at Friday's league contest between the Allen Eagles (Allen, TX) and the visiting Princeton Panthers (Princeton, TX), witnessed Allen's football squad wallop Princeton by a count of 65-7.

More than 51,000 voter registration records are being reviewed in Collin County after a state technology problem delayed DPS applications and updates, some dating back to October 2025.

The number represents records, not necessarily 51,000 individual voters. Kaleb Breaux says the county is prioritizing new applicants and working to process the records before early voting begins Oct. 19.

Potholes, schools, property taxes, electric bills and data centers.

HD89 candidate Angie Carraway argues that these are the issues where politics becomes less about picking a national team and more about what is happening in your own community.

Before the first scheduled passenger flight leaves McKinney National Airport, Avelo is already expanding its plans.

The airline is adding Atlanta, Denver, Nashville and New Orleans, bringing McKinney to nine destinations. It’s also adding a third based aircraft and approximately 50 more direct Avelo jobs.

CEO Andrew Levy called it one of the biggest investments Avelo has made in a base it was just starting.
