Texas Senate passes $1B education savings account proposal

In a 19-12 vote, Texas senators passed their first bill of the 89th legislative session, Senate Bill 2, Feb. 5. The proposal by Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, now heads to the Texas House. SB 2 proposes spending $1 billion annually for education savings accounts, which families could use to help cover the costs of private education. About 100,000 students would qualify for the program, Creighton said. “Across Texas public schools, despite the hard work of our teachers that we value and respect so much and the billions of dollars we spend in our state budget, many students are feeling left behind,” Creighton said on the Senate floor. “That is unacceptable.” view article  arw

Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, handlers say, predicting 6 more weeks of wintry weather

February 0508:30 AM
 

Punxsutawney Phil’s team of top-hatted associates says he has seen his shadow and is predicting six more weeks of wintry weather.  Phil was welcomed with chants of “Phil, Phil, Phil,” and pulled from a hatch on his tree stump shortly after sunrise before a member of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club read from a scroll in which he boasted: “Only I know — you can't trust A.I.” The woodchuck’s weather forecast is an annual ritual that goes back more than a century in western Pennsylvania, with far older roots in European folklore, but it took Bill Murray’s 1993 “Groundhog Day” movie to transform the event into what it is today, with tens of thousands of revelers at the scene and imitators scattered around the United States and beyond. view article  arw
