The top local stories from the KERA Newsroom: Lawmakers are fast-tracking a bill that would allow college students to bring concealed handguns into their classrooms, cafeterias and dorms.

And a controversial artwork standing in the water of White Rock Lake may be getting yanked out after getting a negative engineering report commissioned by the city of Dallas.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.

Former KERA reporter BJ Austin spent more than 25 years in broadcast journalism, anchoring and reporting in Atlanta, New York, New Orleans and Dallas. Along the way, she covered Atlanta City Hall, the Georgia Legislature and the corruption trials of Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards.
