Texas Standard for May 29, 2017
Just hours are left until the end of the Texas legislative session. We’ll explore what passed, what failed and what’s still up in the air. And: They say “follow the money”, so we’ll take a close look at the budget that will guide the state for the next two years. Also: The former Texas nurse convicted of killing at least one baby is set to go free. We look at the somewhat unusual effort to prevent that. Plus: Remembering the final battle in the American Civil War. You might not know it took place right here in Texas. Don’t miss: We’re getting Texans to tell us about their boots. Those stories and more today on the the Texas Standard:
