This week, the Texas Senate passed a bill to give $10,000 vouchers to families to use at private schools, one of Gov. Greg Abbott’s top priorities. On today’s Friday News Roundup, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by multidisciplinary storyteller Mase Kerwick and executive producer to talk about the bill’s challenges now in the Texas House, where it failed to progress during the last legislative session. Plus, why an Austinite is saying that Lockhart is the new Live Music Capital of the World, and where to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday. And hey, want to join our team? We’re hiring a producer, and you can apply here.
