On today’s Hello Houston, Houston City Controller Chris Hollins joins us in the show’s first hour to discuss the rising cost of electricity, with the city of Houston expected to spend more than $131 million on electricity this fiscal year.

Next, we’re joined by John Slaby and Cookie Wells, longtime members of Archway Gallery, a long-running artist-owned and operated gallery in Houston, who tell us about its history and an upcoming exhibition to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

In the second hour, we talk with Stacey Gorniak, a professor of motor behavior at the University of Houston’s Department of Health and Human Performance, who discusses the university’s dementia research programs and what we can do to protect our brain health for the future.

Plus, Amanda McMillian, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Houston, tells us all about the nonprofit’s Integrated Client Journey program and how it aims to help people achieve financial stability.

And, as always, Celeste and Frank talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including a federal judge ordering Texas to extend the deadline for private school vouchers, TSA workers not being paid during the government shutdown, John Cornyn and Ken Paxton remaining in the Texas Senate GOP runoff as the withdrawal deadline passes, and more.
