The death of Bill Mitchell sometime in April 1928 closed the book on an epic Texas feud that lasted more than 50 years.

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.

There is good reason for the Heart of Texas Behavioral Health Network to observe April 2023 as National Stress Awareness Month — as in reducing the risk of six leading causes of death for Americans.
