The top local stories this morning from KERA News: Saturday is Election Day across North Texas. More than a dozen cities will hold school board and bond elections.

And in one of several municipal elections on tomorrow’s ballot, voters in Fort Worth will have their say on proposed changes to the city’s charter. The results could mean big changes for the City Council.

Other stories this morning:

  • Though billionaire Donald Trump is the assured GOP presidential nominee, not all Texas Republicans are ready to support him. In our Friday Conversation, we caught up with Dallas State Representative Jason Villalba, whose column in the Texas Tribune called the billionaire “the death of the Republican Party.”

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:22 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
