More than 1.3 million people live in Travis County, and contribute either as a renter or a property owner to Travis County’s massive budget. But how much do we know about what county commissioners are up to, like testing out a pilot program that could fill an enormous gap in mental health treatment and addressing opioid overdoses? And, why are Travis County voters going to be asked to pay more in taxes to cover their neighbors’ childcare? In today’s episode, host Nikki DaVaughn sits down with Travis County Judge Andy Brown to ask him these questions and more, including what he’ll be wearing as Grand Marshal of the Austin Pride Parade. 

We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor.
