Safety advocates want stricter legislation after child's death at Fort Worth dental office
Activists are looking at a child's death at a Fort Worth dental office earlier this year and hoping it spurs the state to pass stricter legislation to make sure such tragedies never happen again.Investigators determined Chrishelle Hemphill, 48, was responsible for the April death of 4-year-old Aithana Rodriguez-Arriaga at Cuddle Kids Dental in Fort Worth, and her arrest affidavit details a series of errors in the child's death.The affidavit states Rodriguez-Arriaga did not wake up following a procedure on her tongue performed by Hemphill on Apr. 1. An unusually high amount of meperidine (demerol, an opiate) was found in the child's blood system, which a medical examiner said would have been toxic for an adult.Rodriguez-Arriaga was also given chloral hydrate, which the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners says has been discontinued and has no specific reversal agent.After finding Rodriguez-Arriaga unresponsive, Hemphill gave her Flumazenil, the wrong reversal agent, instead of Narcan.H

Henderson County data center plans scrapped by developer
A proposed East Texas data center will not move forward after the developer said, after hearing from residents and officials, the site did not meet its standards for development.Diode Ventures was eyeing a location in Henderson County, near Cedar Creek Lake, for development of a data center."We appreciate recent conversations with Governor Abbott’s staff, State Representative Cody Harris, County Commissioner Wendy Spivey, and Henderson County leadership, as Diode evaluated a potential data center site near Cedar Creek Lake," Diode co-presidents Rachel Attebery and Josh Johnson said in a letter to Henderson County commissioners. The perspectives shared by residents, local leaders and stakeholders led us to conclude that the site under evaluation, in particular its close proximity to the rural residential community of Cedar Creek Lake, does not meet the higher standard we believe should guide data center development."In a statement, Gov.

Dallas City Hall neglect accusation could trigger legal battle
The fight to save Dallas City Hall may have a twist. The city of Dallas has admitted neglect of its iconic building and that may put it in legal hot water.The city of Dallas prohibits property owners of landmark buildings from allowing the property to fall into disrepair to justify its demolition.But a group of attorneys claims that’s exactly what the city itself appears to be doing with its building.The distinctive inverted pyramid structure was designed by world renowned architect I.M. Pei. The Landmark Commission voted unanimously in March of last year to initiate the historic designation procedure for city hall. That means the 48-year-old building is protected.Scott Griggs, a former city council member and attorney with Save Dallas City Hall, said the city’s own argument for abandoning city hall is because it is in a state of disrepair. But that violates the city’s own demolition by neglect ordinance."What this letter is going to try to do is tell the city of Dallas it’s time to ge
