City of Bowie losing seven employees to retirement
As 2014 comes to a close, the City of Bowie says good-bye to seven employees with combined full-time experience of 148 years.
These long-tenured workers took advantage of an early buy-out program offered through the city to take advantage of the current mortality tables used by the Texas Municipal Retirement System.
Starting Jan. 1 2015, the mortality tables will change to longer-lived morality tables, which will lower the amount of monthly annuity payments retired employees receive.
A reception will honor these retiring employees from 2 to 4 p.m. on Dec. 29 at the city community room. The public is invited to attend. Read the full feature on all those retiring in the weekend Bowie News.

The following indictments were filed with the 97th District Clerk following the November session of the Montague County Grand Jury.
There were a total of 13 indictments with one sealed awaiting the arrest of a suspect.
A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
