Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

  1. Two Dallas pension funds currently hold $7 million worth of investments that are linked to Russia. The two funds handle retirement benefits for city employees but no fund managers have made any formal requests to sever ties with the Russian linked investments despite the City Council voting to sever ties with Russia. The City Council does not want to have any diplomatic ties with Russia while Putin is president. (The Dallas Morning News)
  2. Dallas travelers will experience foggy roads on Wednesday. The fog will be most prevalent on Interstate 35 in the morning hours. The National Weather Service in Fort Worth is requesting drivers to use extreme caution during the episode of fog. (CW33 Dallas)
