   The worst apartments in North Texas; Texas girls are not doing well

   Jess Hardin is the Texas bureau chief for The Real Deal, a national real estate publication. She investigated conditions at what she calls the worst apartment complexes in North Texas, and identified what they have in common. Plus, the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas recently released its State of the Texas Girl Report. Texas ranks 41st nationally in girls’ overall well-being and last in physical well-being. That raises questions about how we’re preparing girls to become the region’s future employees, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Jennifer Bartkowski is CEO of Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, and she joins us to talk about ideas for improving the lives of girls.
