Texas Standard For May 27, 2019
It’s a day to remember those who gave their lives in service of the nation. But it’s also the end of the 86th legislative session. We will look at the state’s budget and what’s in it. And: A bill in Congress that contains money for Harvey recovery got stalled on its way to passage. What’s next? Also: How could 5G interfere with predicting the next Harvey? We’ll explore. Plus: We’ll take a look at how restorative justice could restore more than individual lives and revive neighborhoods. And COBOL has been dismissed, but is still going strong. Those stories and a whole lot more today on the Texas Standard:
