On today’s Hello Houston, Dr. Sergio Lira, President of the Houston council of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), discusses their decision to cancel this year’s Cinco De Mayo parade, and other pressing concerns for the city’s Latin American community.
Then, we learn all about this year’s upcoming Tour De Houston, an annual community bike ride event celebrating the beauty, history, and diversity of Houston’s neighborhoods, with Todd Holloman, Vice President of Venues and Live Events at Houston First Corporation.
In the second hour of the show, we’re joined by Joshua Fechter, the Urban Affairs reporter for The Texas Tribune, who breaks down his report on the rising cost of housing and the debate over whether investment companies should be allowed to buy single-family homes.
Plus, our hosts tell us about the latest things that are currently taking over all their free time as part of our regular Thursday feature, Current Obsessions.
And, as always, Ernie and Frank discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo saying that she was threatened and removed from a Houston rodeo concert, a new poll on how Americans feel about placing the National Guard at polling places, and a new poll showing James Talarico tying with John Cornyn and Ken Paxton.
