Rep. John Bryant, D-Dallas, led a small coalition of progressives on Thursday in supporting a new package of property tax relief measures that tops out larger than any other proposal yet.His bill proposes $20.9 billion to provide homestead exemptions of up to $200,000, cash rebates to renters, permanent pay raises to teachers, and some cuts to school district tax rates."Texans pay the fifth highest property taxes in the nation, yet our state is 44th in its support for public education.

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A supermassive black hole, newly discovered by researchers with the University of Texas, is now the most distant ever discovered. Named CEERS 1019, it was detected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).The supermassive black hole existed about 570 million years after the big bang. The black hole was one of three identified by the Cosmic Evolution Early Releases Science (CEERS) survey. The research was published in The Astrophysics Journal Letters. The team is led by University of Texas astronomy professor Steven Finkelstein. CEERS uses the JWST ability to capture near-infrared and mid-infrared images to identify celestial objects in the furthest parts of our universe. Infrared light travels further than visible light, allowing it to travel for billions of years. By observing this light, we're able to see what the universe looked like when the light was originally sent.
