Whitmire’s New Homeless Camp, Honoring Vets, & More Hate Speech?

It’s been another busy weekend for Houstonians with lots of news to unpack. Producer Carlignon Jones is chatting with ABC 13 reporter Shannon Ryan to talk about the latest in the investigation into the beleaguered Houston Housing Authority, the surge in racist texts across the country — including right here in Humble ISD — and Mayor John Whitmire’s new plan to reduce homelessness.
