Texas Standard for July 5, 2016
Ready… Aim… Now what? After calling the gun control sit-in a publicity stunt House GOP leaders prepare for a vote. Plus: There was a plan to crack down on repeat offenders in domestic violence cases. But a new report says in real life, more repeat offenders are getting more lenient treatment, we’ll hear why. And: How many cans of mosquito repellent can Texas buy for $30 million? The state’s about to find out in its preemptive war on Zika. Also: The gap between America’s rich and poor –bigger in San Francisco? Or south Texas? And: The Texas slave who became a Mexican millionaire. An overlooked chapter in U.S. history. Those stories and so much more today on the Texas Standard:
