Texas Standard For June 15, 2018
A huge lawsuit targeting an entire range of abortion restrictions in Texas. An organizer calls it the big fix, the state says it’s going nowhere. The story coming up on the Texas Standard. And: Cities across the Lone Star State have instituted plastic bag bans–are those laws about to be trashed? A whole lot rides on three little words. We’ll hear why – and what they are. Also: One year after America’s biggest online retailer announced it was purchasing Texas-based Whole Foods, what’s happened to the store’s foodie culture? And what changes are happening in the grocery biz? Plus: The week in Texas politics with the Texas Tribune and a whole lot more.
