'It is embarrassing because you want people to write about your work. I was one of the youngest ever cast members of 'SNL' and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating,' Davidson said.

TxLege data: How long do sessions last and how many bills are typically passed?
This story is part of the KXAN Data Hub, where numbers help tell the whole created several data-driven stories and databases on topics including weather and climate, politics, education, sports and growth in Texas. Each story in the KXAN Data Hub is updated as new data becomes available. AUSTIN (KXAN) — Each legislative session, thousands of bills are filed by state lawmakers, but how many actually become law? And how long does each session typically last? KXAN dug through the legislative archives to find out. As seen in the chart below, the number of bills filed each legislative session has grown tremendously. In the 27th, 28th and 29th sessions, in the early 1900s, fewer than 1,000 House and Senate bills were filed by state lawmakers. That compares to the more than 8,700 filed so far in the current Legislative session. As of May 13, a total of 5,644 House bills and 3,072 Senate bills have be filed by the current legislature. Of course, not every bill is passed. In the 88th Legislative Session, in 2023, a total of 8,616 bills were filed by state lawmakers in the regular session and four subsequent special sessions. Of those, 1,252 were passed, about 14.5% of all bills filed. Gov. Abbott vetoed 76 bills, according to online legislative statistics. When averaging the last 10 full sessions, lawmakers typically file about 6,890 bills, of which roughly 1,350 are passed — about 19.6% of the total. This session, lawmakers have passed 165 bills as of May 13, about 1.9% of the total. The legislature meets every two years, in odd-numbered years. Since the 1960s, regular sessions have lasted for 140 days. Before then, they ranged from as short as 45 days in 1863 to 177 days in 1949. By state law, special sessions can last a maximum of 30 days, but the governor has the power to call as many special sessions as they want. The record came in the 71st Legislative Session, in 1989 and 1990. Gov. Bill Clements called a total of six special sessions. Since the first legislative session in 1846, there have been an average of 1.5 special sessions for each legislature. The 12th Legislative Session was the longest in state history, at 353 days in total. That session included a 17-day 'provisional' session in February 1870, so Texas could ratify the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Just because a bill passes both the House and Senate, doesn't mean it will become law. The governor has the power to veto bills. An average of 28 bills are vetoed each legislative cycle. The 12th Legislature, in 1870-71, saw the most vetoes in state history. Gov. Edmund J. Davis vetoed a total of 123 bills, 83 of which were in special sessions. When only looking at regular sessions, a record 83 bills were vetoed by Rick Perry in the 77th Legislature, in 2001. Gov. Greg Abbott's 76 vetoes in the most recent regular session ranks second. The two Republicans also rank first and second when it comes to total vetoes during their time in office. Rick Perry vetoed almost 300 bills between 2001 and 2013. Abbott has vetoed almost 250 as of May 12, 2025. William P. Clements, Edmund J. Davis and Daniel J. Moody, Jr. are the only other governors to have vetoed more than 100 bills while in office.

Court delivers major victory in case challenging harmful government practice: 'Now we can finally get back to the urgent work'
A 2023 lawsuit against a South Louisiana parish regarding pollution is back in court, according to Reuters. The lawsuit alleges that predominantly Black neighborhoods in St. James Parish had been inordinately subjected to petrochemical emissions. A study from a grade school in neighboring St. John the Baptist Parish suggested students were being subjected to the "highest theoretical cancer risk in the nation." The risk earned a stretch of land in St. James Parish the nickname of Cancer Alley. The case was originally dismissed because the statute of limitations had been exceeded, as the zoning permissions were given to industry in 2014. The appeal to bring the case back succeeded on grounds that those permissions were part of a larger pattern of violating 13th and 14th Amendment rights. Part of the lawsuit's argument is that polluting industries were given license to operate in majority-Black communities, while nearby white communities were granted a moratorium on commercial solar installations. "While it is unclear at this pleading stage whether these alleged incidents of discrimination can ultimately prove a violation of the Organizations' constitutional or statutory rights, as alleged they plainly fall within the applicable one-year limitations period," 5th U.S. Circuit Court Judge Carl Stewart wrote, per Reuters. Minority communities have historically borne the brunt of pollution. This is in part because of redlining, which kept underrepresented groups close to industrial zones. A newer trend, bluelining, increases insurance premiums in areas deemed environmentally risky, often in the same Black communities. This demonstrates how oil and gas pollution does more than just exacerbate extreme weather patterns. The effects have an immediate and harmful impact on those living nearby. "Now we can finally get back to the urgent work of addressing the public health emergency caused by the parish's constant and easy approval of every request by any petrochemical company seeking to operate in these majority-Black communities," plaintiffs lawyer Pam Spees said, per Reuters.

Rain is no problem for 2,357 runners in Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5K
POTTSVILLE — On the steps of the historic Philadelphia and Reading Coal & Iron Co. building, Steve Tichy stretched his legs Saturday morning before running in the 13th Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5K. He was hoping to improve his time over last year, when he ran the race not long after having hip and knee surgery. Tichy, 60, a retired computer programmer, would have preferred not to run in the rain. The saving grace, however, was that it was cool. Taking on Pottsville's hills is brutal enough anytime, but agonizing when it's hot. For a time, it looked like race organizers could squeeze in the 3.1-mile race before forecasts of rain materialized. No such luck. * Dominique Ramer is the first woman to finish the race during the 13th annual Yuengling Light Lager Jogger in Pottsville, Saturday, April 26, 2025.

(MATTHEW PERSCHALL/MULTIMEDIA EDITOR) Expand SEE FULL PHOTO GALLERY: The 13th annual Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5K in Pottsville About a half-hour before the 9 a.m. starting time, the rain came. Not a torrential downpour, but a gentle spring shower that persisted throughout the race. Runners and spectators huddled under tents, umbrellas and on porches, hoping that somehow the moisture would dissipate. It did not, and after Wendy Yuengling did a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown from an elevated bucket at the start-finish line at 7th and Mahantongo, 2,357 runners took off past Victorian mansions built by coal barons in the late 19th Century. 'I love your town,' said C. J. Black, a teacher from Fredricksburg, Virginia. Black and her husband, Paul, a government contractor who so far has dodged the DOGE cutback, are members of RWB — as in red, white and blue — a veterans organization. C.J. ran with the names of active duty service men and women dangling from the American Flag. Their son, Army Sgt. William Black, just returned from a tour of duty in Lithuania. Cousins Chris and Tyler Laczynski ran in honor of their grandmother, Joanna Laczynski, of Pine Grove. Chris is from New York, and Tyler lives in New Jersey. They were on opposite sides of the issue of whether rain is good or bad for runners. Chris, a high school football player, likes the coolness it brings. Tyler, who plays basketball, says rain makes the roadway slippery. Wherever they stood in the rain, runners, young and old, male and female, agreed on one thing – Pottsville's hills are murder. Taylor Cicero described the course, which snakes from Mahantongo to Norwegian and Howard Avenue, simply as hilly. Normally a marathon runner, it was the 32-year-old Pottsville physical therapist's first 5K. It was also Cicero's first after bringing her son, Callan, into the world a year ago. And she did it in a respectable 22:16 time, the top award winner in the 30-39 category. Roger Davis, a Berwick native who lives in Jenkintown, Montgomery County, was a top finisher in the 60-69 age group with a time of 24:01. Despite the demands of the first 1.5 miles, which are uphill, he came away with fond memories. Actually, it was not as bad as the Run For The Diamonds, a hilly 9-mile run in Berwick, which he has run for 50 years in a row. 'There was no traffic, the city did a nice job,' said Davis, 67, a CPA with a Philadelphia firm. 'And the people cheered you on, and offered you drinks.' Jessica Wiscount cheered on her husband, Rob, from inside a clear plastic umbrella. They are both teachers in Pottsville schools. 'I love that he runs,' said Jessica, a kindergarten teacher. 'It promotes a healthy lifestyle, and gives him an opportunity to get out and feel better about himself.' Finishing in 32:29, Rob felt he did a lot better this year than last, when it was hot. The rain, he said, cooled things down and made the run more enjoyable. After crossing the finish line, runners were handed ice packs and offered bananas and water from the sponsor. And, of course, complementary glasses of Yuengling, naturally lager. Downing a Yuengling, Mike Hillegas boasted he did better this year than last — only a minute, but still better. 'I did the Palmerton Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, and it was much worse,' said Hillegas, 68, a retired Mack Trucks engineer who lives in Bowmanstown, Carbon County. Kyle Price continued his reign as Lager Jogger king, popping a can of Yuengling Lager as he streaked across the finishing line in 17 minutes, 41 seconds. A resident of Milltown, N.J., he has won all but one of the 13 Lager Joggers. According to the website Awards were presented to Price and the second and third place male finishers – Tyler Linquist of Palmyra, 17:44, and Benjamin Behm of Birdsboro, 18:12. The top three women finishers were: Dominique Ramer of Nesquehoning, 21:29; Marisa Kleman of Mount Carmel, 21:52 and Jill Norbert of Allentown, 21:55. A complete listing is available at
