On Thursday's show: Houston City Council has approved plans to spend some $315 million in federal recovery funds, including $100 million for home repairs and housing, marking a significant turnaround from Mayor John Whitmire’s initial proposal and a major victory for housing advocates. We learn more about that and some other recent developments in city government, including money for more beds for the homeless in the East End and new solid waste trucks.
Also this hour: Recent comments from President Trump suggest some hostility towards wind energy. We consider what that could mean for Texas.
Then, we learn about the challenges of running a restaurant -- when that restaurant is on wheels.
And Stacey Allen, the author of a new children’s book about dance, called D is for Dance, explores how the rhythms of the African diaspora continue to shape Houston’s creative scene.
