The top local stories this morning from KERA News: Though there's bipartisan support, Congress still hasn’t reauthorized funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which could affect roughly 400,000 children in Texas.
Without reauthorization, state officials say money for CHIP could run out as early as January - and families will soon receive letters letting them know their health care is ending.
