AUSTIN (KXAN) – Lori Mitchell remembers how she felt, after receiving a call one early morning in January and learning about her mother’s death.Her voice broke as she remembered the staff member at her mother’s Round Rock nursing facility encouraging her to contact a funeral home, where her mother’s body had apparently been moved.“I was confused because I had not given consent for anybody to pick her up,” she recalled.“An hour later, the nursing home called me back and said, ‘Your mother is back up here.’ And I said, ‘I don't understand what's going on.’ They said, ‘Well, there was a mistake. She's back here now.’” INVESTIGATION: Texas doesn’t penalize most senior living facilities with confirmed abuse. Why? Hours earlier, according to state records detailing the incident, the family of a different resident received a similar call from the facility, telling them their loved one passed away. That family started making arrangements to have the body transported from the facilit...Favorite coffee shops in Austin, according to KXAN viewers

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 14:25:53 GMT
Although it was lost in the four-year cyclone that was the presidency of Donald Trump, one of his most immoral acts was to pardon soldiers who were accused of committing war crimes by killing unarmed civilians or prisoners. Military leaders, including his own defense secretary and the secretary of the Army, objected, saying it would undermine good order and discipline. Lawlessness can easily beget lawlessness.But the American system is ill-prepared to deter leaders bent on undermining the rule of law. Checks and balances spread powers across the government, but that isn’t enough to temper or stop bad-faith actors looking to subvert the law. According to a new article in The Atlantic, Gen. Mark Milley, upon becoming the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2019, “found himself in a disconcerting situation: trying, and failing, to teach President Trump the difference between appropriate battlefield aggressiveness on the one hand, and war crimes on the other.”Trump, as Milley discover...Twin Cities Marathon, 10-mile race canceled due to heat that won’t allow safe event, organizers say

Extreme heat conditions can tax both runners and our emergency medical response systems. We ask the entire running community to come together for the safety of everyone involved.”Sunday’s forecast is hot and humid with temperatures near 90 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, which said record...Multiple agencies searching for missing child in Saratoga County

After a decade-long and at times bitter struggle to convert 234 acres of mostly farmland in southern Westminster into a new community, the Uplands is finally turning dirt.“From the beginning, our vision was to create a model of sustainability and affordability, with plentiful missing middle housing. And above all, we were passionate about leading on water conservation, design innovation, and thoughtful placemaking,” said Jeff Handlin, president of Oread Capital & Development, during a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday afternoon.The “moderate” density community expects to provide 2,350 new housing units targeting middle-income buyers who are increasingly left on the sidelines in a housing market where the median price of a single-family home sold runs $650,000.Besides market-rate single-family homes, the master-planned community will include for-sale courtyard cottages, townhomes and duplexes better priced to meet the needs of first-time buyers, growing...Latest news
