I'm still processing all the mayhem the Supreme Court made in the last week of its term. Ohio v EPA is a case that didn't get a lot of attention--here's my take on it. https://t.co/lWslecoC78

⁦@houstonzoo⁩, is this a dog like coyote or do we have something wilder on Rio Vista?

Dallas City Council Member @ChadWestDallas applauds Austin for lot size reform from req’d 5,750 square feet to 2,500 sf: 🏘️

“I’m very inspired by what Austin did with the reduction of their lot size.”

Might @CityOfDallas reform their lot size, like Houston and Austin?

A nugget from Texas Friday Medicaid data where 500k lost coverage -- less than 1% of people whose eligibility was checked were processed on an ex parte basis

'The Virginia Early Childhood Foundation partnered with 18 child care centers serving kids 0-5 to bring on the workers at $17 an hour for a minimum of 30 hours a week for the next year.'

An intriguing model playing out in Virginia...
