The top local stories this evening from KERA News:
North Texas Congressman Joe Barton announced Thursday he won’t seek another term next year. It marks an end to the Ennis Republican’s three-decade career in Washington. He faced a growing chorus of calls for his resignation after a nude picture and a sexually charged exchange were made public.
Barton is the most senior member of the Texas Congressional delegation but, as KERA’s Christopher Connelly reports, his long tenure didn’t stop the scandal from ending his career.
