Former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk Texans’ work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit and our willingness to take on big ideas explain why this state has become the country’s economic engine. That’s why I’m so bullish about the new high‐speed train that will connect North Texas and , the state’s largest commercial hubs. The project is a per‐ fect example of how Texas entrepreneurs approach challenges and opportunities: creatively, optimistical‐ ly and collaboratively, using a business plan driven by free market principles. Having served as Texas’ secretary of state, mayor of the great city of Dallas and, in my role as the US Trade Representative, the nation’s chief trade negotiator and a principal adviser to the president, I have spent my career encouraging efforts that support economic growth. The bullet train accomplishes that and more, creat‐ ing a super economy of approximately half the state’s Axxess hosted its third annual Career Day, a company‐wide shadowing day for the students of Kennedy‐Curry on Friday, March 31.

(AP) — Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings says a bill designed to save the Dallas Police and Fire Pension amounts to a taxpayer bailout while taking control of the pension away from the city. Rawlings testified against the proposal at the state Legislature's House Committee on Pensions on Monday. The city and pension representatives spent months trying to hash out a compromise to save the ailing pension fund projected to become insolvent in the next 10 years. Problems mounted after officials spent almost a decade basing the fund's financial health on inflated asset values from risky real estate investments. Rawlings says the bill, which was introduced after a compromise wasn't reached, asks for too much money from Dallas taxpayers. He also says it also gives the city less oversight on the pension board. Dallas Woman Gets 60-Year Prison Term for Illicit Injections (AP) — A Dallas salon worker has been sentenced to 60 years in prison after she was found guilty of murder in the death of a woman injected in the buttocks with indus‐ trial‐grade silicone. A Dallas County jury sentenced Denise "Wee Wee" Ross on Wednesday, a day after convicting her of murder for performing the illegal cosmetic procedure that killed Wykesha (wye‐KEE'‐shah) Reid. The 45‐year‐old cosmetician was also found guilty of practicing medicine without a license. Prosecutors said Ross injected the silicone into Wykesha Reid's buttocks to give her what the salon called the "Wee Wee Booty." A medical examiner testified an autopsy showed the compound circulated through the 34‐year‐old woman's lungs, probably causing her difficulty breathing and eventually a pulmonary embolism.

3 more Olympic medals stripped in IOC doping retests

(AP) — Two wrestlers and a weightlifter have been stripped of Olympic medals for doping at the 2008 and 2012 Games. The International Olympic Committee says Uzbek wrestler Artur Taymazov, who won a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and Ukrainian wrestler Vasyl Fedoryshyn, who won silver, have been ordered to return their medals. Russian weightlifter Svetlana Tzarukaeva won silver at the 2012 London Games and also was asked to give her medal back. The IOC, which stores doping samples for 10 years, reanalyzed more than 1,000 samples from Beijing and London with improved techniques that can detect the use of steroids going back weeks and months, rather than days.
