Texas Standard for June 8, 2017
Comey over everything. Texans are glued to their radios and TVs as the former FBI director appears before senate investigators. We’ll take a look at reaction and more. And: In the style of William Travis, a Texas mayor makes not-so-tongue in cheek plea – a call for people of good will to come to the defense of his city. Is he serious? You bet. And it’s all because of a new state law. We’ll hear about it. Also: Harris County is opening the jailhouse doors for scores of inmates, by court order. The county filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court. We’ll have the latest. Plus: The shopping habits of millennials drive a revolution in retail. It’s not just where and what they’re buying, but what they aren’t. Those stories and so much more today on the Texas Standard:
