The view of Quakertown Park from
the Denton city manager’s comer office
is particularly beautiful this time of year
— the tulips, pansies, irises, roses and
even the trees are blooming. Todd Hile-
man says he’s not in his office much dur-
ing the day to take it in. The new city
manager’s daily schedule takes him out
to meetings across the city
“It’s usually dark by the time I get
back,” Hileman says.

Todd Hileman started his job as Denton’s city manager in late January. Denton’s “State of the City” on Thursday is
part of a effort to improve communications. “How do we get more proactive with the information and make sure
that people feel like they are heard ahead of the planning commission or the council?” Hileman said.

WASHINGTON - House Republi-
cans’ failure to repeal Barack Obamas
health care law deals a serious blow to an-
other big part of President Donald
Trumps agenda: tax reform.
Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan,
R-Wis., say they will soon turn their atten-
tion to the first major rewrite of the tax
code in more than 30 years. But they will
have to do it without the momentum of
victory on health care.
Just as important, the loss on health
care will deprive Republicans of $l trillion
in tax cuts.
The GOP health plan would have re-
pealed nearly $l trillion in taxes enacted
under Obama’s Affordable Care Act. The
bill coupled the tax cuts with spending
cuts for Medicaid, so it wouldn’t add to the
budget deficit.
Without the spending cuts, it will be
much harder for Republicans to cut taxes
without adding to the federal govern-
ment’s red ink.
Wes this does make tax reform more
difficult,” said Ryan. “But it does not in any
way make it impossible.”
“That just means the Obamacare taxes
stay with Obamacare. Were going to go fix
the rest of the tax code,” he added.
House Republicans couldn’t round up

young sluggers and patted them on the

“It’s not just the Walker family” Hollie-

we’ll always come together in support of
one another”
Spirits were strong as 53 teams of near-

windy Monday Tamara Estes swallows vi-

arthritic fingers. Even with her nightly
Ambien, she is always up before the sun,
