In today’s edition of “The Commuter Cut,” we hear from the Texas Tribune’s economy and industry reporter, Paul Cobler, who discusses the tax breaks given to data centers and what we can expect to happen next.

Then, we talk with community organizer and Houston City Council District C candidate Joe Panzarella, who joins us to discuss the upcoming runoff election, his platform, and answer questions from Hello Houston listeners.

Also, we learn all about the area non-profit, the Citizens' Environmental Coalition, with board president Amanda Kuhl, who also discusses the upcoming 2026 City Nature Challenge, which the organization is helping organize for the city of Houston.
