Texas Standard For October 29, 2019
The House prepares for a Thursday vote to proceed with an impeachment inquiry. We’ll take a look at what that means. And: A state board designed to keep spending in check has been working without a director, losing all its executive team and is shedding staff. The rotting away may be part of a plan by the Lt. Governor, we’ll explore. Also: After a threat from the governor, Austin is clearing out some of its homeless camps, we’ll have details. Plus: It’s a part of New Mexico rich with roughnecks. Now some are saying they wish they could secede and join Texas, and they may be only half kidding. All of that and then some today on the Texas Standard:
