From The Newsroom: Urban Life In The Burbs, And Community College For Free?

City of Plano
Downtown Plano is now a mix of historical structures, modern apartments, restaurants and bars.

Tonight's top local stories from the KERA newsroom: The Democrat running for lieutenant governor wants to give all Texas kids two years of free community college; her Republican opponent says, “We feel she has chosen to spend more money to achieve less." Urban life is becoming a fact of life in the suburbs. And the plight of the high school principal.

  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.
