AUSTIN (KXAN) — The City of Austin could take another swing at its long-term comprehensive housing goals. The Housing Department applied for a $10 million federal grant to do it. “An update to the blueprint is going to take a couple years so the housing department is already looking right now at how we can make sure that five years down the road we have an update ready to go,” said Austin City Council Member Ryan Alter. In 2017, Austin City Council set forward lofty housing goals, called the Strategic...

CINCINNATI — On Tuesday morning, MLB Network devoted about a nine-minute segment to Corbin Carroll’s struggles, comparing his swing mechanics from last year to this year. There was talk of his stride length, his use of his back leg and the placement of his hands, all of which seemed centered on his inability to hit high fastballs. So, naturally, Carroll stepped to the plate in the seventh inning on Tuesday night, saw a fastball above the zone at 96 mph and blasted it out to left field for a three-run...

Prosecutors in Idaho have declined to bring charges against an 18-year-old high school student who confessed to yelling a racial slur at members of the University of Utah women’s basketball team earlier this year. Authorities found “insufficient evidence to establish probable cause” that Anthony Myers had specifically intended to harass the Utes, they said in a charging document dated May 3. “[O]n the contrary,” they continued, “the sum of the evidence supports that Mr. Myers’ intent was to be funny.” The incident occurred during the team’s stay at an Idaho...

Jaylen Brown poured in 32 points to lead the Celtics and Derrick White hit 7 of 12 3-pointers and scored 25 points. After registering three wire-to-wire wins in their first-round win over the Heat, the Celtics led for the final 40 minutes on Tuesday. The Celtics were hardly perfect, Cleveland star Donovan Mitchell had a strong offensive game, and none of it mattered, as Boston rolled to a 120-95 win to take a 1-0 series lead. The sentiment entering these playoffs was that the Celtics were unlikely to face a...

Wake County school leaders want a record $63.2 million increase in local funding at the same time that homeowners are bracing for higher property taxes after the recent property revaluation. School board members unanimously approved a budget Tuesday that they say is needed to meet state-mandated cost increases, deal with the loss of one-time federal COVID aid and increase the amount of pay raises to employees. The budget now goes to the Wake County Board of Commissioners. County Manager David Ellis has proposed a smaller recommendation: a funding increase of...
