Local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: SMU will have to make $35 million in budget cuts. Also, choosing a healthcare plan can be tricky. Jack Hooper of Take Command Health says to look beyond the co-pays and deductibles. And finally, a radio service for the visually impaired is ending local production.

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 6:20 p.m. or 8:20 a.m. on 90.1 FM. 

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
