We made it to Friday! To recap the week in Houston, host Raheel Ramzanali and Lucio Vasquez, newscast producer and reporter at Houston Public Media, are breaking down the biggest stories. The duo start by talking about how Raheel’s family is dealing with a break-in, then discuss the 6-year prison sentence for ex-cop Gerald Goines, and why Houston homeowners won’t see property taxes go up, at least not this year. You won’t want to miss the photoshoot that stopped traffic on U.S. 59.
