Last year before the pandemic, 28-year-old Tyler McClure was hoping to start his own nonprofit. He’d been working as an after-school coordinator for years, but he was finally feeling stable enough to start looking for grants to go out on his own.
But then the pandemic happened, and he got a pay cut at his day job. Since, McClure says he’s had to put his plans for the future on hold.
“So, I had to stay at my nine-to-five,” he said. “The nine-to-five, I don’t look down on it at all. But in my [job], it’s kind of paycheck-to-paycheck, and so having to stay in that kind of had me shift my goals around a little bit.”

On Tuesday, the city’s natural gas supply was reduced by 26 percent.
“So to maintain our gas flow into the city, we’re actually using 25 percent of our reserves to, you know, keep that volume at 100 percent,” says Altamont Police Chief and Public Information Officer Michael Shields.
On February 15th, the city made a post on Facebook, saying that Southern Star would be “cutting our volume by 26 percent.” Meaning there would be 26 percent less natural gas coming to the city from the supplier.
