Inflation and the Dallas economy; The race for Texas Attorney General explained

from NTX Now · host KERA News

Inflation continues to rise above the federal reserve's 2% target. The Iran War, tariffs, a trade war with Canada are just a few things driving up the cost of gas, groceries, and other daily essentials. We talked to Gbenga Ajilore Chief Economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities about what's fueling inflation and what could be done to combat it. Plus, Ron moderated a panel in July about Dallas's economic vitality and future workforce. We walk through the highlights. And, while the U.S. Senate fight has drawn national attention, there’s another contest on the fall ballot that’s just as consequential for Texans — the race to succeed GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton as state attorney general.
