When floodwaters rushed through a girl's summer camp nestled in the Texas Hill County, Michael McCown's 8-year-old daughter was among 27 campers and counselors swept to their deaths.
On Wednesday, McCown joined other Camp Mystic parents, some wearing buttons memorializing “Heaven's 27,” in demanding that Texas lawmakers pass a bill that would boost camp safety, including generally keeping cabins out of floodplains, instituting new requirements for emergency plans and mandating weather radios.
