Leading Off (2/13/17)

A big deadline approaches, local Grammy wins, Trump v. Cuban Round 1,000, and more.

Time Is Running Out For the Legislature to Weigh In On Dallas Police and Fire Pension Crisis. March 1 is the deadline to file a bill to fix it, or else it will have to wait until the 2019 session. But leaving it up to legislators is not an ideal solution, since lawmakers from all over the state will have a say. And that feels like it would not be great. I mean, I only would trust this guy to tell me about the best men’s rights subreddit. So, step it up, gang.

Maren Morris Wins Grammy. I am … not familiar with the Arlington country singer’s work. But, hey, good job. Here are all the other North Texas winners and connections and whatnot.

Periodic Trump v. Mark Cuban Update. Here you go.

Thieves Rob Watauga Girl Scouts. Even other thieves would say that’s low. It’s not taking candy from a baby, but it is in the ballpark, if not as poetically phrased. Also, the troop’s goal is selling 9,000 boxes? Is that sort of a normal number? It seems like a lot. I don’t know.

SMU Gets Big Win. The No. 25 Ponies, led by Semi Ojeleye, beat No. 11 Cincy, which was on a 15-game winning streak. The W may have secured them a spot in the NCAA tournament. Solid work, fellas.
