Episode 36: Panther Island Money, Tarrant County Judge Candidates, & the Governors Race

Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review.

We are a show about local politics that aims to get more people engaged in local issues. My name is Anthony Sosa and we got a rowdy episode for you today with Amber Sosa and Thomas Moore. Christopher Rose will be back with us on the next episode. This week we discuss the Panther Island/ Central City Flood Project, the Tarrant County Judge primary candidates as well as some news on the Governor’s race and some other interesting local quick hits in addition to a tangent on human nature. 

All of the resources used will be provided below in the show notes.

This podcast is made possible by The Justice Reform League, a Fort Worth based non-profit. You can sign up for our newsletter and get updates on FW political news and deep dives into local issues at our website www.justicereformleague.net
