LUBBOCK, Texas (KAMC) – Are you a fan of South Plains politics? Here are your Talking Points for this week.

Teachers across the South Plains and the Lone Star State are happy a pay raise is coming their way thanks to the Texas Legislature and Governor Abbott. Teachers in the Lubbock Independent School District are even happier than most because they’re getting a little extra in their paychecks.

Congress says help is on the way for communities to deal with the humanitarian crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, including here in Texas.

Also, we’ll have a recap of all the local, state and national political news of the past week.

Talking Points with Bryan Mudd airs each Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday evenings at 11:05 p.m.
