For many, perhaps everyone, 2020 will go down as a year theyâd rather forget. However, the huge news that came in 2020 is unforgettable.
By March, the coronavirus had swept into the world, the nation and Central Texas, drastically changing the way people work, shop, eat and live. It ushered in changes to the Copperas Cove area that will likely leave lasting impacts to the local landscape. It impacted everyone.
A few months later, on Sept. 1, the Copperas Cove City Council approved the new fee schedule, which effectively eliminated the senior discount for utility rates and also raised the utility rates for all customers. Prior to the vote, the issue caused a lot of conversation from residents expressing their opinion on the matter.
COPPERAS COVE - Vonya Hart is officially the newest member of the Copperas Cove City Council.Â
After being named the unofficial winner of the runoff with Theresa Terri Deans for Place 6, Hart was named the official winner after the council canvassed the results Tuesday.
Â
Hart officially finished with 602 votes (57.6%) to Deans 444 (42.4%).
After hearing the results Dec. 8, Hart was ecstatic and overcome with emotion. She credited members of the community helping her heal from the loss of her husband a few years back, so she was grateful for the support they showed in the election.
Â
 Now, for me, it s more about now - moving forward, Hart said Tuesday outside the council chambers.
