On Friday’s show: We get an update on the situation at the Jones Road Superfund Site, where chemicals from a former dry cleaning business have contaminated the groundwater and soil.

Also this hour: Houston Chronicle columnist Chris Tomlinson says the debt ceiling battle in Congress could lead to worse health care outcomes for Texans. He helps us connect those dots.
