On this episode of City Cast Houston’s Friday Round-Up: Texas Tribune’s Zach Despart joins Lisa and Ferrill to discuss the federal aid given to Texas for Hurricane Harvey relief, but withheld from Houston in its dispersing. Also, the team covers: the new variant threat; Wesley Hunt’s rise up the Republican ranks; more to discuss about Roe v. Wade and what its overturning could mean for Texans; and the shaky electric grid.
Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the Harvey aid, written by today's guest, Zack Despart: The Texas Tribune Breakdown.
