Are we done settling for scraps?

John, When I think about Labor Day, I think about my grandpa. He worked at Lone Star Steel in East Texas, where the heat was relentless, the hours were long, and the risks were high. Like millions of us Texans, he gave everything to keep this state running, working dangerous…

Abbott's flood response: Wait for George Strait.
