Texas film incentives under fire as lawmakers seek to abolish program
State Sens. Ronni Burton and Bob Hall filed bills to abolish the Moving Image Industry Incentive Program. Texas draws films with diverse locations and a major festival but offers weak incentives, risking jobs and spending tied to the industry. The Texas Film Commission’s spending supported nearly 20,000 full-time jobs and $1.14 billion in economic impact per a 2015 report. Governor Abbott has supported keeping the incentive.

Obama Israel policy critics fault Kerry and Obama
A pundit argues Secretary Kerry and the Obama administration repeatedly failed to veto a one sided UN Security Council resolution against Israel. It accuses them of pursuing a policy of leading from behind and of abandoning flexibility in Middle East crises while blaming their stance for regional instability and Palestinian gains. The piece rebukes Kerry's assertions on settlements and Palestinian statehood, labeling most assumptions as erroneous and describing the administration as out of step with facts on the ground.
