Texas ethics ruling eases stock conflict risk for boards
About 2,000 Texas school board members gain relief as Attorney General Dan Morales clarifies a new ethics law. The opinion limits application to trustees with personal or significant interests in firms contracting with districts, avoiding forced resignations for holding stock. The piece also notes critiques of a credit union funding letter by Rep. Dan Kubiak and Gov. Ann Richards urging ethics and openness in state Boards and commissions.

Letters From North America by Peary Perry
Essay style meditation on human behavior and everyday observations. The narrator riffs on college regrets and the allure of behavioral science, then muses about how people judge cars, tools, and batteries after brief checks, using humorous anecdotes about tires, engines, vacuums, and taste testing. The piece blends memory and curiosity about why people trust first impressions.
