Sunday ninety nine point one Day in the Morning and
producer Anthony and the Three Things You Need to Know
to get your Wednesday, August seventh started. It's sad that
we're learning Texas Children's Hospital has to lay off five
percent of its workforce because of financial difficulties. That's a
thousand people. And there's one lady who moved here from California.

(00:23):
She was offered the job in May, sold her home,
moved her young family to Texas, only to find out
her position has been eliminated. She has been a lot
of money. She's suing Texas Children's because of that. Well,
this is going to cause even more financial difficulties. We're
learning that Texas Wind Insurance Association has approved a ten
percent rate hike on policies. The group got twenty seven

(00:47):
thousand claims related to Beryl could amount to four hundred
million dollars. So if the average policy is twenty three
hundred dollars, homeowners would have to pay an additional two
hundred and thirty dollars. And before it weapons though, the
Texas Insurance Commission has to approve it, and there's still
debris from Hurricane Barrel all over Houston and surrounding areas.

(01:08):
A matter of fact, one hundred and twelve neighborhoods still
trying to get resources just in Harris County alone. Could
be maybe two to three more weeks before it's cleaned up.
