It’s Texahampshire Friday!

Part One: The Voice of Texas, Scott Braddock joins us to update us on Houston after Harvey, the damage, the costs, and how this may be a boon to state revenues. Also, the Texas House budget writers are about to meet to start addressing the needs after Harvey, and a top official from the Texas AG’s office has been picked by Trump to be a federal judge – and the guy has referred to transgender kids as “part of Satan’s plan.”

Part Two: Maureen Beauregard is the founder and President of Families in Transition, a non-profit dedicated to helping homeless individuals and families move beyond the cycle of homelessness and become part of the community. FIT began in 1991. We speak with Maureen about how Families in Transition has grown and changed throughout the years, and how the organization is responding to the opioid crisis.
