In it, he stated that the Legislature had approved a record $5.2 billion state budget that then-Gov. Fife Symington was poised to sign. Ninety-two percent of the new spending was earmarked for education, including $180 million more for K-12 and $150 million for maintenance and operations.

Writing this column on Thursday morning wasn’t the best start to my day. I have to say, though, it’s not as bad compared to what happened at King Features. The content distributor says it has fired a writer who used artificial intelligence to produce a story on summer reading suggestions that “contained books that didn’t exist.” The list appeared in “Heat Index: Your Guide to the Best of Summer,” a special section distributed in Sunday’s Chicago Sun-Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer last week.

Tim Wiederaenders: Contemplating the dance of life

2 weeks ago | havasunews.com | Tim Wiederaenders

Each one of us faces challenges every day. How I respond — to some of the phone calls I get at the office or people I encounter in my travels — is all a dance of life. Challenges might be rooted in communication, relationships or work. Sometimes our problems have little to do with us personally, more over they are based on others’ expectations and experiences, even how we fit into “their” version or view of society. kAm~7E6? x 2> E@=5 @FCD :D 2 H@C=5 @7 A@=:E:4D] %9:D 42?

Tim Wiederaenders: Let’s get real with IDs

3 weeks ago | havasunews.com | Tim Wiederaenders

It is quite a hoot: the concept of the Real ID has been offered for about 10 years now, and Wednesday, April 30, was the latest deadline to get one. If you’ve been asleep, the Real ID — for which you visit the Motor Vehicle Department proving you’re a resident (showing a utility bill, bank account statement, etc.) and getting a star on your driver’s license — allows for “seamless” domestic air travel. kAmu@C D@>6 C62D@?WDX[ A6@A=6 92G6 366?
