Part One: The Voice of Texas, Scott Braddock gives us our weekly update. Topics include: Texas House approves sanctuary cities ban, voting rights violations on House districts, Travis County DA asked to investigate fraudulent school voucher letters, and doctors oppose making vaccination opt-outs easier.

Part Two: Robert Manduca is a PhD student in Sociology and Social Policy. He is interested in economic outcomes of people and places. He joins us to discuss the latest research report from Professor Raj Chetty, showing that only half of Americans born in 1980 are better than their parents.
