Hello Houston: The Commuter Cut is your connection to the heart of the Bayou City, but shorter, for our busy commuters. Every weekday, we dive deep into the stories that matter to Houstonians — from breaking local news to cultural happenings, community voices, and the everyday joys and challenges of life in our vibrant city.
In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," we hear Ernie, Frank, and Celeste’s conversation with former Houston City Council member Dr. Leticia Plummer, who discusses running for Harris County Judge, as well as her vision and priorities for this role.
Then, they are joined by Houston City Controller Chris Hollins, who shares his thoughts on a proposal that could potentially increase the city's revenue by enacting certain policies. Controller Hollins walks us through what it would mean, its risks, and what’s feasible about it.
Plus, we also learn about the world premiere of composer Tom Cipullo's latest opera, Hobson's Choice, from Kathleen Belcher, Artistic Director of the University of Houston's Moores Opera Center, who’s also directing the opera.
