On this week's episode of North Texas in Focus, host Matthew Reyna welcomes two great guests. In the first segment, Eleanor Dearman, state government reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, previews the 88th session of the Texas Legislature. Dearman discusses Republican and Democratic legislative strateies, bills already filed by DFW-area lawmakers, and what it takes to be a thorough statehouse journalist. In the second segment, University of North Texas play-by-play commentator Zac Babb discusses the massive overhaul of the Mean Green athletic department.
