ExxonMobil set to to move its legal home to Texas, citing business friendly environment

March 1106:57 AM
 

Gov. Greg Abbott celebrated the announcement on Tuesday, crediting Texas’ legal environment. Exxon has based its operations in the Houston area since 1989.   ExxonMobil is poised to move its legal headquarters from New Jersey to Texas in search of a more friendly business environment, the company announced Tuesday morning.   The board of directors for the largest U.S.-based oil producing company, which already runs its operations from the Houston suburb of Spring, unanimously recommended to its shareholders that they vote to redomicile the company in Texas.   Shareholders will vote on the change at the company’s annual meeting on May 27. If successful, it will move Exxon’s legal home for the first time since it registered in New Jersey in 1882 as Standard Oil Company — the company later changed its name to Exxon, then merged with Mobil Oil Corp. view article  arw

Governor blasts Corpus Christi leaders over looming water shortage, threatens a state takeover

March 1105:00 AM
 

Residents and businesses’ demand for water could soon exceed supply. Gov. Greg Abbott said the state could step in if solutions aren’t found.  Gov. Greg Abbott criticized Corpus Christi leadership Tuesday over its looming water crisis and warned that if local leaders do not take immediate action, the state may need to intervene to ensure residents and businesses have enough.  “Corpus Christi is a victim not because of lack of water. They’re a victim because of a lack of ability to make a decision,” Abbott said at a press conference after a reporter asked him to comment on an Inside Climate News story quoting former regional and city officials who said the potential shortage is a result of years of delayed and poor decisions by city leaders. view article  arw

RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisers drop proposal to revisit covid-19 shot

March 1105:00 AM
 

Some members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel have publicly questioned the safety and manufacturing of the shots, including raising a debunked theory that DNA contaminants in the vaccines are harmful.  A key federal vaccine advisory panel has abandoned an attack on the covid-19 mRNA vaccines — a shift that comes as some Republicans warn that any more changes to vaccine policy could damage the party in the midterms.  Some of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s handpicked vaccine advisers had been seeking to potentially stop recommending mRNA shots. That plan is no longer moving forward, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations. view article  arw

Lake Worth ISD superintendent resigns amid state takeover

March 1105:00 AM
 

Superintendent Mark Ramirez knew for months he wasn’t going to lead Lake Worth schools into the foreseeable future as the state takes control of the 3,200-student district.  Now it’s official after Lake Worth ISD trustees accepted Ramirez’s resignation and approved staff layoffs during a special board meeting March 9. Ramirez’s last day is Friday, and trustees are expected to name an interim superintendent at their March 23 meeting.  “This is the most difficult vote I have cast in my 12 years as a board member,” board President Tammy Thomas said before trustees approved Ramirez’s separation agreement. “You have established a solid foundation in Lake Worth ISD for academic improvement and growth.”   District officials did not immediately detail how many jobs will be eliminated during a campus restructuring that is coming as Lake Worth transitions to state control after years of poor academic performance. view article  arw

This morning while scrolling through InTown, I saw a headline about tornadoes ripping through parts of Texas overnight. Living in California, tornadoes still feel like something that happens somewhere else, but the photos from this storm made the destruction look painfully real.  According to local officials, a line of severe storms moved across northern Texas late Sunday night, producing several tornadoes that damaged homes, knocked down trees, and left thousands of residents without power. Emergency crews spent the early morning hours clearing roads and checking neighborhoods for injuries. Meteorologists say the storms formed rapidly as warm Gulf air collided with a colder weather system moving across the Plains. view article  arw

As Superintendent Karen Molinar exits takeover, Texas signals a hard reset for Fort Worth ISD

March 1009:51 AM
 

FWISD Superintendent Karen Molinar observed the children learning as she visited classrooms Monday and Tuesday, knowing the clock on her three decades in Fort Worth schools was winding down.  Molinar, 51, learned her time in the district that grew her from a reading teacher into a principal and, eventually, the leader of its schools was over after the Texas education commissioner told her last week she won’t serve during the state takeover. She informed families and staff Wednesday that she will not remain as superintendent.   “I promised them at the beginning of this that I would be transparent, and I would give them updates,” Molinar told the Fort Worth Report. “I had to do that even when it came to what would happen to me personally and professionally. I had to stand up to my word.”   Her impending departure from FWISD drew mixed reactions. Some teachers, parents and city leaders praised Molinar’s decades of service and insisted she should remain in the role during the takeover. Others argued new leadership is necessary as state leaders try to turnaround years of failing academics in Fort Worth. view article  arw

High schoolers explore future opportunities at Junior Achievement Career Expo in Fort Worth

Isaac Carrillo and Emmett Matthews each carefully guided a hoop along a metal path as they raced against their opponent.  The Azle High School seniors’ competition, though, wasn’t worried. In fact, it didn’t have feelings. It was a sleek, glossy white robotic arm conducting the same race albeit on one of its slowest settings.  The race was on at the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center’s table inside the TTI warehouse in north Fort Worth where more than 1,000 Tarrant County students attended the Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail’s third annual Career Expo on Wednesday.  Neither student, though, was interested in a manufacturing career.
