Texas Standard for July 14, 2016
A town hall meeting on race that may be unprecedented. A look at the White House event and what role one prominent Texan may play. Also: The aisle is widening, at least that’s what it looks like when you examine the latest party platforms. We’ll have analysis. Plus: Another round of Medicaid cuts hits Texas today. We’ll break down the effects. And: Cultural artifacts. What discoveries at an old Houston Sugar Mill may tell us about slaves once held there. And: Pell grants for prisoners – why one Texas community college is taking advantage of a new program designed to reduce return trips to behind bars. All that and lots more today on the Texas Standard:
