This week, O’Hana Ramen and Sushi Bar in Lubbock, Texas, faced significant scrutiny after receiving 17 health violations during an inspection, including improper food storage practices and inadequate handwashing by employees. Most violations were reportedly addressed immediately, but concerns about food safety remain, particularly regarding temperatures of stored food items. In other news, St. Francis Red Flash, a Pennsylvania college basketball team, defied expectations by clinching a conference championship despite a losing regular season record, securing a spot in the NCAA tournament. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are struggling to pass a stopgap government funding bill with limited support, while discussions about school vouchers in Texas have sparked debate about the impact on public education funding.
