Last week, a Houston-area toddler was killed and his grandmother injured while in a crosswalk, but the driver involved wasn’t arrested — despite a state law that could have led to felony charges. That’s the big story for today’s episode with host Raheel Ramzanali and executive producer Laura Isensee. They also dive into the latest moves from Attorney General Ken Paxton on abortion and Harris County’s guaranteed income program. And don’t miss how a glitch at Amazon caused a local community to issue a declaration of disaster!
