After sunny, pleasant weather in the middle of the week, rain chances are returning to North Texas Thursday afternoon. Storms are also likely to develop in the afternoon along the Red River, moving south across the region during the late afternoon and evening. These storms have a 50% chance of developing in the Dallas area, bringing hail and damaging winds as their greatest threats. The threat of a tornado will be low but not zero. In other news, A deal on a sweeping plan to pump $8.5 billion to Texas public schools has been struck. A compromise between the Texas House and Senate will maintain the lower $55 per-student increase to the basic allotment but adds an additional $500 million for fixed costs to the plan; Dallas officials do not have a price tag for the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, and they won't have one until next year; Fairview residents have filed an appeal challenging the Town Council's approval of a permit allowing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to build a temple in their town. The Town Council voted 5-2 April 30 to approve the permit for a temple with a 120-foot spire after a year of contentious debate, a threatened lawsuit and a previous denial of the church's permit request.

As Town Mayor and probably one of the most photographed in a mayoral history of the Town Council. When speaking to him, he said his decision to resign hasn’t been taken lightly, but due to work commitments overseas, it is the right thing to do. However, he hasn’t ruled out his return one day, but for now, for him it is the right decision.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1971 bhí dochtúirí ag iarradh saol cailín a shábháil tar éis a loisceadh í agus dhá uair dhiúltaigh lena tuismitheoirí aistriú fola a dhéanamh. I 1987 d'fhan an polaisaí pá don rialtas I rith comhréiteach den ESB agus d'fhan sé faoin ráta boilscithe timpeall 3.4%. I 1998 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh an Coláiste Traenáil I Teampall Mór ag fáil níos mó ná 2 milliúin punt chun níos mó áiseanna a bheith acu agus go mbeadh níos mó daoine ábalta a bheith ann sa todhchaí. I 2012 in ainneoin na agóid de Tom Moylan ó Fhine Gael, ritheadh an rún chun carrchlós Tyone a thabhairt chuig an HSE. Sin Starship le Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1987. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1976 fuair ABBA a tríú huimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Fernando agus bhí sé an t-amhrán a dhíol den chuid is mó don bhanna cheoil le níos mó ná 10 milliúin chóip. Chum Benny agus Bjorn an t-amhrán. Níor tháinig ABBA amach leis an amhrán ar dtús ach tháinig Anni ón bhanna cheoil amach leis an amhrán ar dtús ar a albam I 1975. I 1993 fuair Aerosmith uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Get A Grip agus shroich siad uimhir 2 sa Bhreatain. Dhíol siad níos mó ná 20 milliúin cóip den albam timpeall an domhain agus bhuaigh siad dhá Grammy. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh David Attenborough sa Bhreatain I 1926 agus rugadh amhránaí Enrique Iglesias sa Spáinn ar an lá seo I 1975 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 8th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: doctors were trying to save the life of a badly burned 15 year old girl and were twice refused by the girls parents to add minister blood transfusions. 1987: The governments overall pay policy remained intact through settlement of the ESB dispute at fractionally below the current 3.4 per cent inflation rate. 1998 - THE Garda Training College in Templemore is set for a £2 million infrastructural boost with the additional classroom facilities and other accommodation and will cater for further recruits to the force in the coming years.  2012 - DESPITE the protests of Fine Gael's Tom Moylan, Nenagh, Town Council passed a motion to sell Tyone car park to the Health Service Executive (HSE).  That was Starship with Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now – the biggest song on this day in 1987. Onto music news on this day In 1976 ABBA scored their third UK No.1 single with Fernando, the song went on to become ABBA's biggest selling single, with sales over 10 million. Composed by Benny and Björn the song carried the working title of ‘Tango'. ‘Fernando' was not originally released as an ABBA song but as a solo single by band member Anni – featured on her 1975 solo album 1993 Aerosmith entered the US album chart at No.1 with 'Get A Grip', a No.2 hit in the UK. The album went on to sell over 20 million copies worldwide as well as winning the band two Grammy awards. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – presenter David Attenborough was born in the UK in 1926 and singer Enrique Iglesias was born in Spain on this day in 1975 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

What is Ex Parte Communications?  When decision-making processes (e.g., in local government) give the appearance, real or imagined, of being one-sided or prejudiced, and therefore, full due process is not provided to the public. This is important to ensure impartiality and fairness by the Planning Commission and Board of Appeals as they review projects for consistency with the Town Ordinance, the 2020 Comprehensive Plan, and other requirements.  To ensure our consideration & the commission's discussion is open & multi-sided, rather than one-sided.   The Town Planning Commission (PC ) is a Governing Body that must abide by Maryland State Law.The Town Planning Commission, at their September 5, 2023, reviewed their Rules of Procedure and will include an ex parte policy or clause: “Ex Parter Communication: Ex Parte Communications Prohibited - An ex parte communication includes an oral or written communication not on the public record to which reasonable prior notice is not given to all parties. Such communication between Commission members and interested persons is prohibited if relevant to the merits of a Commission proceeding. Members should not discuss applications with applicants or other interested persons outside the confines of a public meeting ,but should recommend that the person(s) contact Staff with any questions or concerns. b. Disclosure of Ex Parte Communications - If a member does inadvertently engage in an ex parte communication, the member should - at the next meeting in which the relevant application is to be discussed - state the nature of the communication and submit for the record any written communication received, any written response to a communication, state the substance of each oral communication received, and state the substance of any oral response to a communication. Alternatively, the member may recuse himself or herself from voting on that specific application. If a member does not disclose ex parte communications, they may be subject to the provisions of Chapter 20, Ethics of the Town Code.”I hope the incoming Town Council will include this clause in their Rules of Procedure.  Source: Planning Ethics and Ex Parte Communications Planning Commission Training Course YouTube Video

This session shares the Franklin (MA) School Committee Policy Subcmte meeting held on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. All 3 members participated, Chair O'Sullivan, members Callaghan, McNeill. Supt Giguere, Ops Director Boisvert, and Dr Rogers representing the Central Office.Quick recap:Supt Giguere sets the stage with some background on how this topic has developed during the redistricting efforts first updated in Dec 2024, then in Jan 2025 to act on the notification to Police, Fire, and DESE on the temporary naming of the new schools operating in the buildings that remained operational in the DistrictSome members of the community have misunderstood the delay in allowing the new middle school community to work to develop their identity “as the Schools doing away with Horace” which was not or ever the case, howeverMercer - Horace Mann is a central source of civic pride and if you wrap the district around H Mann then the community will come alongJ Johnston with the story of H Keller and some of the not so good aspects of her background; Remington was president of Thompson Press and a 20 year SchCmte Member along with other committees in service of the community, definitely worthy of remembering. H Mann you know, he was all for total equality and public education, he wanted teachers trained for their position and not just someone who could do itProposal for the 'campus' i.e. all of the complex including the High school to be designated as such to get ahead of the other conversations so that the Town business doesn't get distracted by this naming convention iitemSubcmte discussion on approval for the Central Office to move forward with the Horace Mann campus and potentially a committee to foster the honoring as it goes forward. So moved, passes 3-0 via roll callTransportation conundrum - previously a bus/busses included a stop on their routes to drop kiddos off at the Y, with the redistricting such could not easily be done; would likely require adding back a bus on a different slot and results in a cost estimated as low as 45K and as high as $85K. Discussion around options but none prevailed and the “conundrum” remainedGiven the timing (needing to close this session to get to the full committee meeting), the topic on a letter to support the alternative funding being discussed within the Legislature was mentioned briefly, Callaghan to add some stats from the Franklin TV deck presented earlier to the draft in hand and review further in another sessionMotion to adjourn, passes 3-0 The recording runs about 54 minutes, so let's listen in.--------------The meeting agenda can be found -> https://ma-franklin.civicplus.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_04082025-1668 The Town Council memo as discussed -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CCDx8c4zn4ZVUr0EYQy1snpygRVLzxHO/view?usp=drive_link My full set of notes taken during the meeting can be found in one PDF ->https://drive.google.com/file/d/14gUGQ0N6s5bMiGwhbHegsRcxfkZUCirY/view?usp=drive_link -------------We are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm) or 102.9 on the Franklin area radio dial.
