On Tuesday's show: After Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed the proposed ban on THC passed by the legislature, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick held a press conference Monday to discuss the move, which killed one of his top legislative priorities from the session. In issuing his eleventh-hour veto, the governor called the THC bill "well-intentioned" and said the hemp market needs to be regulated immediately. That's why he's calling lawmakers back to Austin for a special session. We learn more about this rare split between the governor, state lawmakers, and the lieutenant governor.
Also this hour: Houston is a city of contrasts, where neighborhoods sometimes sit side by side yet remain worlds apart. That case can be made for East Houston and West Houston. How divided is our city, and who are the ones defining the east side?
Then, we discuss the cause of and the fallout from long delays in recycling pickup around the city.
And we learn about Lullabies and Chaos, an organization turning baby showers into lifelines for expectant mothers and fathers who are facing tough times.
