Texas Standard For September 9, 2019
How do you get the attention of state leaders? A federal judge proposes locking up Texas prison officials in their own overheated prisons. We’ll have more on the latest twist in a 5-year battle over Texas prisons where a judge says the heat constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. And: the Texas attorney general is leading a multistate charge against Google to investigate, are they violating antitrust laws? Also: They say everything’s bigger in Texas. Now, so are the supercomputers. Plus: A prescription for cutting the cost of a hospital visit in the Lone Star State. All that and then some on today’s Texas Standard.
