Amid critical need, Fort Worth schools' project to expand broadband access is delayed Fort Worth Star-Telegram 1 hr ago Silas Allen, Fort Worth Star-Telegram May 17—Fort Worth school officials have pushed back a plan to bring broadband internet service to students in underserved parts of the district. School officials plan to build towers across the district to provide public wifi access to neighborhoods where many students don't have high-speed internet service at home. In November, Fort Worth Superintendent Kent Scribner told the Star-Telegram he expected the first towers could be completed in six months if voters approved a property tax increase.

Austin’s City Council decided to lift the ban on public encampments in certain areas in 2019, arguing that the policy had led to citations for people experiencing homelessness that hurt their ability to find housing. The move was quickly criticized by Gov. Greg Abbott, who promised to take action against Austin.

“They’re trying to maximize all the losses they took in 2020,” Bragdon said. Some wooden boards that went up last year won’t come down. Doors that closed temporarily at first won’t open again. “Treasured business establishments that have sort of been family-run and locally operated, we've seen them closed forever,” said Kelsey Erickson Streufert, the Texas Restaurant Association’s Vice President of Advocacy and Government Relations.
