In this episode we talk about the special legislative session Gov. Abbott has called to pass school choice reform and school vouchers. We also question why small towns always seem to own golf courses and airports and also illuminate what is really going on with Banned Books Week. Property taxes also came up, but this time we talk a little about foreclosure (tax) sales.
