On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by the City of Galveston’s manager, Brian Maxwell, in the show’s first hour, who tells us all about the city’s plan to use AI to help improve traffic conditions on the island.
Also, in the first hour, we discuss this year’s Iron Sommelier, Houston’s premier wine competition and tasting event, with the 2024 winner Matthew McLaughlin of Guard and Grace and Justin Goodman of The Periwinkle Foundation.
Then, in the second hour of the show, we hear from David Froomkin, assistant professor of law at the University of Houston Law Center, who discusses recent Supreme Court news, as the Court prepares to hear a case that could reshape how millions of Americans vote by mail.
Plus, we also chat with Ricardo E. Magdaleno, Director of the Mayor's Office of Special Events, who tells us about the upcoming annual holiday show, “Deck the Hall,” which will include a tree lighting countdown followed by a festive concert.
And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including President Trump calling for House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files and Texas superintendents saying state takeovers of school districts are an ineffective method of improving learning for students.
