Alligator spotted on a road, caught by local officers and left in a far swamp
A driver spotted an alligator overnight on the road in the Conroe. It was told that the reptile's tail ran over on Sergeant Ed Holcomb and South Loop 336. Later the officers and DPS troopers were able to get the alligator of the road, but it proved to be a hard task for them as the alligator gave a tough fight.
Officers used ropes and a dog catcher to catch the alligator, and after being caught, it was loaded onto a wrecker. Then it was released in a swamp several miles away.

Houston employees to face furloughs due to budget constraints
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner stated that the city was expecting an increased in sales tax
avenue but due to the coronavirus pandemic the city has now lost around $107 million worth
sales tax revenue for the years 2020 and 2021.
In this context around 30,000 employees of the city might be facing furloughs this year so as to
compensate the budget hiccups.
The proposed $5.1 billion budget for the year 2021 is decided considering both the decrease in
sales tax revenue and the need to lower property tax revenue to stay within the state-mandated
revenue cap.
This has resulted in a budget gap of $169 million. To curb this situation the city officials are
planning of using the money that is reserved for the city by the CARES Act, which comes from the
City's general fund.
Without this extra money, the city might have to face 3,000 furloughs and postpone five
police cadet classes, with exemptions given to police and fire departments and solid waste
department with a limited number of furloughs.
The only way out of this situation is to pull in extra money, which is the only way to balance the
budget, said Turner.

Chicago Archdiocese announced timeline and guidelines to reopen the churched in Chicago
As the coronavirus continues to spread, the Archdiocese of Chicago had announced guidelines to reopen the churches considering the safety of people slowly.
The reopening plan will start from May 18, where parishes will start training "non-vulnerable" volunteers, which will be finished by the end of the week via webinar.
From May 23, churches can reopen for baptism, reconciliation, weddings, and funerals. The number of people will be limited to only 10, assuming they pass an archdiocesan-required certification of readiness to open.
From May 30, the churches could be reopened for private prayer and adoration with a limit of 10 people inside the church, said the archdiocese.
The archdiocese said that the second phase of reopening would allow churches to have masses of larger groups inside the church, but that phase of the plan still awaits approval from state officials.
Church officials said that the second phase of reopening will require permission from city and state civil authorities.
The Archdiocese of Joliet is also following a similar pattern of reopening for their churches.
Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918 could be studied to adopt better approaches to fight the current pandemic
The U.S. or Chicago had faced similar conditions of pressure on reopening the economy and keep the public during the Spanish flu around 100 years ago.
The Spanish influenza pandemic is considered one of the deadliest pandemic humanity had ever seen. It infected about one-third populations of the world that time and killed around 20-50 million people.
That pandemic had many similarities in the situations and conditions to COVID-19 pandemics such as closed businesses, masks, stay-at-home orders, and a pressure to reopen the economy.
Brittany Hutchinson of the Chicago History Museum said, "For cities and states that opened too early, there was a direct correlation between an increase in mortality rates and a decrease in the speed at which the economic reopened."
Hutchinson said that in the 1918 pandemic, Philadelphia held a parade to return things to normal, but this turned out against them, increased the number of infected, and many died.
Historians say that the influenza pandemic teaches that the cities which kept the people safe and did not panic to reopen recovered fastest.
Historians also say that Chicago should take a moderately aggressive approach to the pandemic to keep the people safe and raise the economy as these safety measures will pay off in the long run.

Anwohner ziehen Projekt Paulinenbrücke in Zweifel
Es gab keinen Platz unter der Brücke an der Grenze zwischen der zentralen und der südlichen Region. Die Stadtverwaltung wollte dies mit Hilfe des Stadtgückenverbandes ändern. Jetzt gibt es einen intensiven Protest. Wie soll das jetzt weitergehen?
Dies wurde als Problem angesehen. In der Nähe von Paulinenbrück entstand dann der Verein Stadtlücken, der sich für gute öffentliche Plätze und eine lebenswerte Stadt einsetzt. Zusammen mit ihm bestand die Hoffnung, dass vor Ort etwas Vorbildliches für die Stadtentwicklung auftauchen könnte. Ist der Raum unter der Brücke ein Problembereich ersten Grades? Ungefähr 50 Absender, darunter Schwester Margrethe aus der Franziskanerröhre von Carissa für Obdachlose, schickten einen Brief mit Feuer an das Rathaus.
Schwester Margrethe erhält unterwegs Briefe
Außerdem treten zunehmend schlechte Aerosolspeicher auf. Beleidigungen und Verleumdungen waren an der Tagesordnung. Anstatt einen Ort für eine breite Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit an seiner Zukunft zu schaffen, wurde hier „die nachhaltige Nutzung des Stadtraums und der Mobilität bei gleichzeitiger Verdrängung des motorisierten Einzelverkehrs“ getestet.
Die Briefe wurden von Schwester Margret ins Rathaus geworfen. In der Zwischenzeit teilte die führende Abteilung für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung unserer Zeitung mit, dass sie derzeit an der Frage arbeiten, ob und unter welchem Konzept der Raum unter der Brücke in Zukunft genutzt werden soll. Nach wie vor wollten sie mit den Bewohnern darüber sprechen.
Raiko Grib (SPD), Bezirksleiter am Stuttgarter Hof, möchte ein Wort sagen. Er steht für einen differenzierten Blick. Der Schreibstil traf ihn. Die hier aufgeführten Beschwerden können nicht auf die Vereinigung städtischer Räume zurückgeführt werden.
City Space Association verteidigt sich
Tatsächlich musste in der Vergangenheit fast jeder geparkte Fahrer und fast jeder Passant durch bestimmte Teile des Gebiets eilen, um starke Urinemissionen zu vermeiden. Es ist kein Zufall, dass eine öffentliche Toilette ohne Nutzungsgebühr Teil der Pläne ist, sagt Mushroom. Was ist mit der Drogenszene? Da ist ein Ortswechsel üblich. Sie können sie nicht kontrollieren, Sie können sie nicht einfach aufheben.
Die CDU hat Angst um den Frieden in der Stadt
Die erste Gruppe des Gemeinderats hat der CDU bereits geantwortet. In einer Erklärung untersucht sie Beschwerden über eine offene Szene mit Drogen, Schmieren, Beleidigungen und Belästigungen sowie "die einseitige Taubheit der Stadtverwaltung über die Probleme von Institutionen, Unternehmen und Einwohnern". Die CDU will wissen, wie die Verwaltung eine weitere Eskalation der Stimmung und eine Bedrohung des Friedens in der Stadt verhindern will.
