House OKs $302 billion budget

House OKs $302 billion budget

The Texas House approved a $302 billion budget last week that included an amendment prohibiting the use of state money on private school tuition — a major setback to Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to establish a school voucher system. The Austin American-Statesman reported that more than 20 Republicans joined nearly all House Democrats to pass the amendment, while 11 lawmakers voted present. 04/15/2023 07:00 AM

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, I would like to address a comic recently published in Taylor Press (Sunday, March 12, 2023). This comic, while in the opinion section, is in such poor taste that I felt that I should write to you. 03/31/2023 11:10 PM

You are hurting more than just LGBTQ+ people

You are hurting more than just LGBTQ+ people

I moved here searching for a place to call home. I wanted to leave city life and move to a place where I could get to know my neighbors and participate in community building. The rainbow ducks I saw gave me hope that Taylor was a progressive, safe place for my family (even though we would probably be the only Jewish family in town). 03/31/2023 11:10 PM

“Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break.” — Earl Wilson, American journalist, and author, perhaps best known for his syndicated newspaper column, “It Happened Last Night.” Things change. And like it or not, the only constant in life is change. 03/29/2023 10:01 AM
