Description

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day and Friday, what a perfect combination! In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, we have a fantastic nomination for who should be Houston’s new face of Saint Patrick’s Day. Plus, how preservation districts are really backdoor zoning, the Texas Education Agency takeover of HISD, another Houston mayoral candidate emerges, Texas takes another step towards legalizing weed, and $275k art at the rodeo! Producer Carlignon Jones, politics contributor Evan Mintz, and producer AK ALMoumen recap the week that was in Houston.
