Hello Houston (May 27, 2025)

On today’s “Hello Houston,” Ernie, Frank, and Celeste talk with Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo during the show’s first hour who discusses issues such as hurricane preparedness, law enforcement pay parity, Harris County commissioners denying her request for her staff to travel with her to Paris, and more.

Also, in the first hour, our hosts weigh in on the top stories of the day, including a proposal to allow smaller homes on smaller lots in Texas cities, Texas House Bill 1393 to keep daylight savings time, and a Texas woman suing the Texas Lottery Commission for unpaid winnings.

Then, in the second hour, Rice University political science professor Bob Stein discusses and breaks down President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and how it could impact everyday Americans, and August Stubler, the lead farmer at the Skyfarm at POST Houston, tells us more about the one-acre rooftop food farm and its possibilities for Houston.
