Texas Standard for March 18, 2016
More rain in the forecast today for parts of Texas including those already under water. How disaster declarations affect resources and recovery. Also – genocide, or just war? Understanding why the declaration about ISIS makes a difference. Plus – SeaWorld in San Antonio and on the coasts are making changes to how they do business – we’ll hear how it might make a difference with ticket-buyers. Why growing up in the foster care system can be especially hard for LGBTQ kids. And… it’s Friday! That means we’ve got the Typewriter Rodeo and a look back at the week that was in Texas politics. All of that and lots more on today’s Texas Standard.
