We receive updates on a few items pertaining to the Houston city government on Thursday’s episode, such as the city’s decision to keep investing public cash in Israeli bonds after the city council failed to adopt an amendment to alter the city’s investment strategy.
Additionally, TxDOT wants to keep monitoring its own adherence to environmental regulations, which opponents claim gives them unbridled power to approve controversial projects. We gain some insight into the situation.
Next, we go to a Texas museum about the Karankawa tribe. The exhibit’s artifacts are recreations rather than real historical objects, at the tribe’s desire. What benefits and drawbacks come with creating exhibits using these re-created artifacts?
Additionally, we speak with artist Vincent Valdez, whose collection of paintings on American history will be on exhibit as part of a takeover of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston.
After 11 a.m. CT, the audio from today’s broadcast will be accessible. Additionally, we provide a free podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, and other apps.
