Garland realtor helps save dozens of drivers stuck in the ice

Realtor Patrick Abell from Garland drove around Dallas County in his Jeep on Tuesday with the aim of giving folks a helpful pull after getting stranded by the ice.

Hounan Reyes stopped to help the driver of an 18-wheeler get free from the ice. It worked, but his truck got stuck in the process.

North Texas drivers dealing with treacherous conditions

Kevin Deras, the driver of the 18-wheeler, looked to return the favor.

“We’re going to have to scrape a little bit of ice from under those tires so he can gain some traction,” Deras said.

He dug at the ice, but the street was too slick to get Reyes out.

That’s where Abell and his Jeep came in.

“Just out having fun. I’ve been picking people up taking them to work checking on houses, doing what we do,” he said.

Horace’s discontinued tax abatement program leaves area Realtors puzzled – InForum

HORACE — Area home buyers, Realtors and builders will look to make a case for government officials in hopes of reestablishing Horace’s tax abatement program, which was not renewed after it expired on Jan. 1.

Horace’s tax abatement program, which is similar to that authorized by the North Dakota Century Code, gives buyers of new homes a two-year break on property taxes for certain new single-family residential properties and condominiums and townhouses. According to state law, the maximum exemption allowed is $150,000 of true and full valuation of improvements only and land is still taxable.

Horace Mayor Kory Peterson said the City Council every two years decides whether to continue the program or not. This summer, the council did not have a particular appetite for continuing the program, he said.

“I still think it’s a good idea, but we just didn’t have a council that wanted to keep it active at that time,” Peterson said. “It didn’t get brought up again and so it expired.”

The absence of the program, however, took some new buyers by surprise, said Kevin Fisher, a Realtor and former president of the Fargo Moorhead Area Association of Realtors.
