Texas A&M-Commerce economics professor Dr. Dale Funderburk reflects on an article from the Dallas branch of the Federal Reserve showing a strong Texas economy, that was fourth in U.S. job growth last year.  With labor in demand, wages and salaries are expected to grow this year.  However, a Texas Tribune article says, despite the expanding economy, the state budget is expected to be tight in the next biennium.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
