DALLAS (AP) _ Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic has hurt his right ankle again only weeks before the All-Star Game. Doncic will miss at least Friday’s game in Houston after spraining his right ankle in practice Thursday. He is expected to have an MRI. He missed four games last month after hurting the same ankle. The 20-year-old Doncic is set to be the youngest All-Star starter since LeBron James. Doncic was the NBA’s rookie of the year last season. He has a league-high 12 triple-doubles this season and is averaging 28.8 points per game.

Texas A&M Student Government Leaders Ask The College Station City Council To Continue The Delay Of Enforcing No More Than Four Unrelated Occupants In Rental Housing
Five leaders of Texas A&M’s student government call on the College Station city council to delay the June first enforcement of the city’s ordinance restricting rental housing to no more than four unrelated residents. There was no response from council members during the April 11th meeting because state law does not allow comments regarding an item not on their agenda. There was also no reply from city staff during the council meeting. The following morning during a visit on WTAW’s The Infomaniacs, assistant city manager Jennifer Prochazka spoke about the efforts of city staff and Texas A&M’s resurrected office of off-campus housing to educate students and parents about the city ordinance that has been in place since 1939 but has not been strictly enforced in recent years. On Monday (April 15), a city spokesman told WTAW News that the agenda for the council’s April 25th meeting will include a proposed ordinance change making no more than four a civil offense instead of a misdemeanor criminal offense.

Bryan City Council Ends A Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Near The Main Post Office
In 2005, the Bryan city council diverted property tax revenue from the area around the main post office to pay for new infrastructure. The council during its April 9th meeting approved dissolving the tax increment reinvestment zone, or TIRZ. Strategic projects director Lindsey Guindi said more than $5.5 million dollars was collected by the TIRZ. The money went towards building Nash Street and new post office driveways, the roundabout at Nash and Broadmoor, improvements at Camelot Park, and other infrastructure. Guindi also said the assessed valuation of the property in the TIRZ grew from $2.2 million to more than $75 million dollars. With the end of TIRZ 19, Guindi says $400,000 dollars in annual property tax revenue will now go to the city of Bryan’s general fund and the city’s debt service fund.
