County adopts E-Verify to vet county employees
Ector County will implement the E-Verify system to check work eligibility for hires, reducing liability and qualifying the county for good standing with the Department of Labor. County Judge Susan Redford and HR Director Pat Patton stress accuracy, risk, and the need to prevent undocumented workers from being hired, with the program offering near instant authorization results or nonconfirmation alerts.

Warhol portrait jury closes first day of deliberations
A Los Angeles jury weighing ownership of an Andy Warhol portrait of Farrah Fawcett spent five and a half hours deliberating. The six men and six women consider whether Ryan O Neal may keep the portrait or if it belongs to the University of Texas at Austin, which argues the work should be part of Fawcett's donated art. The university already owns a nearly identical Warhol portrait displayed in its museum. O Neal claims Warhol gifted the work to him.

Storm eases drought in some North Texas areas

Edwards Aquifer Authority tightened limits as Lake Travis and Lake Buchanan face conservation amid near record-low levels. Lower Colorado River Authority notes missed rainfall could have helped lakes. By Tuesday the two lakes were 37 percent full.
