Texas Standard For September 28, 2018
It’s a who’s who of Texas politics and it happens over one weekend each September. And we’re there, broadcasting live from the Texas Tribune Festival. Today we’re coming to you from one of the most iconic streets in Texas: Congress Avenue in Austin. Where thousands of political movers and shakers from across Texas and the nation have descended to discuss the state of the Lone Star State and our future. From immigration to criminal justice, voter participation, local control and the shrinking political center – it’s all on the table. So, pull up a chair for a special edition of the Texas Standard:
