Greg Casar(D-Austin), who is leading the group and has introduced legislation to connect the Texas grid to the rest of country.An MIT study on Casar’s bill found that 80% of the outages Texans experienced during the 2021 ice storm could have been averted ifgrid operators had pulled electricity from neighboring states.ARTICLE ICON 1CORNYN LEADING NATIONAL EFFORT TO PROTECT JUDGESU.S. Sen. John Cornyn is leading an effort in Congress to provide better protection for judges and court personnel throughfederally funded training, threat monitoring, and technical assistance.The legislation, which passed the Senate unanimously two weeks ago and has bipartisan support in the House, is a response to theincreasing frequency of attacks on judges and prosecutors in recent years.Julie Kocurek, a Travis County judge who was nearly killed by a defendant in 2015, is working with Cornyn to raise awareness aboutthe issue. She recently participated in a panel discussion with Kaufman County District Attorney Erleigh Wiley, who was appointedto her position in 2013 after a defendant killed her predecessor, his wife, and another county prosecutor.ARTICLE ICON 1TEXAS CITIES RANK HIGH IN DAILY DRIVINGSeveral Texas cities rank high in daily miles driven among 50 U.S. metropolitan areas, with San Antonio drivers logging the mostin the state at 31.5 miles per day.Houston follows closely, with drivers traveling an average of 30.4 miles daily, ranking it 18th among the 50 largest U.S. metroareas, according toan analysis by Replica, a mobility analytics company.Raleigh, North Carolina, took the No. 1 spot with 38.1 miles driven per day, while New Yorkers drive the least miles with 14.4 perday.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Flyoveris just likeThe Texas Flyover,except it covers news from all fifty states.
