Texas Standard for May 23, 2016
Where there’s smoke? Alarms are sounding over policies for fire inspections in Houston. Also: Tempers are boiling over in Corpus Christi on the eleventh day of a water safety alert. Plus: You’ve heard about the nursing shortage. One big reason is a shortage of nursing teachers – and Texas is worst shape than most. We’ll hear why. And: Spark up the smoker: We’ll meet the 12 year old grill-master who can cook rings around the rest of us. All that and more, today on the Texas Standard.
