In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," we hear from Jon Van Gorp, chair of global law at the Mayer Brown law firm, who discusses what’s behind Houston’s growing law industry with an influx of national and international law firms moving to the Bayou City.

Also, we’re joined by former director of the Mayor’s Office for Adult Literacy, Federico Salas-Isnardi, who talks to us about adult literacy, what’s being done to address the issue, and what resources are available for adults wanting to improve their literacy skills.
