Part One: Our weekly update from the Lone Star State with Scott Braddock. Topics include: the plague of scooters in downtown Austin, Fox News “battle on the border” town hall in San Antonio….200 miles from the border, GOP infighting in the Texas House, Speaker Bonnen continues the tradition of appointing committee chairs from both parties, preserving diversity in leadership, and Beto’s road trip – is there really a draft Beto movement in NH?

Part Two: Attorney John Tobin and retired organizer and non-profit creator Doug Hall join us to talk about the disparity created by the way NH funds public education, through property taxes. Property poor Berlin is closing an elementary school, while property rich towns have high per pupil spending. Berlin has the second highest property taxes in the state. A look at what we’re doing wrong, and where we might begin to fix it.
