For Your Information - Robert L. Nichols, State Senator District 3 - Jan 7th

My guest On For Your Information this week is Robert L. Nichols, State Senator District 3 which includes Conroe and Montgomery County, who talked to listeners about the different bills, laws and action taken by the state legislature including such things as: changes to funding in education effecting the dozens of school districts in his district; that 11 of the 19 counties he represents were negatively affected by Hurricane Harvey and what the state has been, and continues, to deal with the problem. The Senator also advised that for the first time ever, the cost of health and human services has exceeded education costs in Texas, and that the state currently has in use state hospitals that were built in the 19th Century. He talked about some of the actions the Congress took to address that situation.
