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,” Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss the upcoming November election and the latest in political news with University of Houston political science professor and Party Politics co-host Brandon Rottinghaus.
Rottinghaus also tells us about Y’alloween, a nonprofit he runs with his son, which works to help give children in need costumes for Halloween.
Plus, we discuss a new report that found many Houston area households are currently facing economic strain with Pablo Pinto, Director of the University of Houston’s Center for Public Policy, who breaks down the findings and what they mean for the city's future.
