The skybridge connecting the Hilton Austin hotel to the Austin Convention Center opened Nov. 27.

The $7.5 million project had stirred up some controversy at the Planning Commission, where a member was concerned about separating “the haves and the have-nots.”

But the opening is certainly a feather in the cap of the 801-room Hilton Austin, bringing an extra touch of convenience for guests who might be spending a lot of time at the convention center during big events including South by Southwest or…

A U.S. District Court judge on Monday allowed the attorneys general of the District and Maryland to proceed with discovery in their emoluments case against President Donald Trump.
