Denial of Okay on Portrait of LBJ Provokes Artist
Southwest artist Peter Hurd says a White House denial of being commissioned to paint President Johnson makes him look like a liar. He cites letters from Mrs. Johnson and the White House Historical Society confirming the commission and notes a $6,000 price mentioned by David Finley. Hurd says the denial may come from an unaware White House aide and mentions other works at the President’s ranch near Johnson City.

Residents Fight Zoning Change on Avenue Q in Avondale
Residents told the Avalanche Journal that past zoning mistakes harmed the city as the City Planning and Zoning Commission kept a segment of Avenue Q in a residential district amid opposition from former officials.

Former Mayor Lennis Baker, recalling past errors, urged sticking to core zoning principles. A separate GE contract dispute reports new accusations from both sides with no settlement progress.
