No fault auto insurance bill faces skeptical House panel
In Austin the House Insurance Committee showed caution on a no fault car insurance plan. The Newton bill would add benefits for injured drivers and passengers, with option to refuse, but critics warned of higher costs and state bar support framed as a response to potential federal moves. A subcommittee is to study the measure further. The Rhode Island Senate meanwhile approved a meatless day resolution to urge a weekly April observance.

State hospitals pay rates align with peers say officials
Dr David Wade, Texas mental health commissioner, told Sen. Kothmann that San Antonio staff wages align with those at similar state facilities in other cities. He said differences are due to program funding rather than pay. The note mentions wages and unrest rumors at the San Antonio facility. Bath, North Carolina, is noted as the oldest continuous town, founded in 1696.
