Texas Standard For September 22, 2017
After Trump, after a special session, after Harvey – where does Texas go from here? With the federal government in the hands of Republicans, what kind of mark is Texas making on American politics right now? This is the place to ask such questions. Tonight is the kickoff of the Texas Tribune Festival, a weekend in the Texas capitol city devoted to all things Lone Star politics. Also: From what to do about interminable commutes to the role of Texas cities in climate change. Also: We assume you can name the governor. We’ll try a little “on the street” test. We’ve got miles and miles to cover – we’re at the Tribfest today on the Standard:
