Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 04:38:43 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Twelve years into a lawsuit over the treatment of Texas children in long-term foster care, a federal judge will consider taking some of the toughest and most extreme actions yet against the state.  Lawyers representing thousands of children in the state’s care asked U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack to not only fine the state for not complying with certain court orders for reforms but also to consider placing parts of the child welfare system into what’s called a receivership – a mechanism typically used in corporate law, which allows a court appointee to take control of an entity. ‘There has to be some penalty’: Judge threatens sanctions over Texas foster care system In their filing requesting this step, the plaintiff’s attorneys argued the court is “entitled” to worry about whether the state will “self-correct” the problems facing the Texas system.“Children in the Texas foster care system have been unsafe for decades,” they wrote. “The State’s persistent non...

Opinion: It should go without saying. Don’t auction off pristine public land in Grand Teton National Park.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 04:38:43 GMT

There’s a 640-acre parcel of magnificent, state-owned public land in Wyoming that’s set for auction unless the state changes its mind.Simply put, this small inholding, known as the “Kelly Parcel,” should never be privatized — never. It is one of the most awe-inspiring and important pieces of open space remaining in America.Within Grand Teton National Park, its borders include the National Elk Refuge and Bridger-Teton National Forest. Its value was appraised in 2022 at $62.4 million. However, the director of the Office of State Lands and Investment just recommended a starting bid of $80 million.But its real value isn’t about money: The land is a vital migration corridor for elk, moose, big horn sheep antelope, pronghorn and mule deer travelling into and out of the national park. It also hosts 87 other “Species of Greatest Conservation Need.”And the annual, 200-mile-long migration corridor known as the Path of the Pronghorn — from Grand Teton National Park to the upper Gre...

Kiszla vs. Gabriel: Is Javonte Williams the best starter at running back for the Broncos?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 04:38:43 GMT

Kiz: With the Broncos now facing a steep climb to make the NFL playoffs, is running back Javonte Williams the correct running back to lead the push? For all the offensive genius of coach Sean Payton, this team’s 21.9 points per game is no better than middle of the pack. Ball control is good. Three-and-out is bad. Should Denver consider a more dynamic back than Williams to be RB1? Please, tell me where I’m wrong.Gabriel: I think he is, Kiz. But let’s not confuse that with the conversation about needing to get more dynamic. The question at this point is about where that’s going to come from down the stretch. Samaje Perine’s done good work in his role, and we’ve seen the tantalizing ability of rookie Jaleel McLaughlin. But I’m skeptical that the Broncos run game or, just as important, offense overall would be much more efficient if one of them were getting 15 carries per game and Williams had his role cut.Kiz: We all respect the work ethic and toughness Williams has display...
