George Harris (left) and Jack Evans (right) signed their marriage license Friday. They have been together for more than 50 years.

The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Tomorrow, the state will begin offering benefits to the spouses and children of gay and lesbian employees. However, getting a marriage license may be difficult for some couples because some county clerks are refusing to hand them out.

And Bill Zeeble caught up with the new interim leader of the Dallas school district: Michael Hinojosa, who was school superintendent from 2006 to 2011.
