nineties and today and the three things you need to
know to get your Wednesday, August twenty eight started well,
Harris County commissioners talking about a proposed increase in our
property tax rates.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's a new carve out clause in the Property.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Tax Relief Act giving county commissioners the authority to raise
property taxes without a vote if a disaster has been declared. Hmm,
and yes, disaster has been declared in the county, so
Paris County is considering it.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It would be an eight percent increase.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, HISD has proposed a huge bond four point four
billion dollars. A new poll back by the Texas Federation
of Teachers is showing voters aren't going to support it.
Only thirty nine percent support the bond package that would
update and redesign HISD buildings, add new technology. And the
reason there is lack of condence is because there's lack

(01:02):
of confidence in the state. Selected Superintendent Mike Miles, And
yesterday we learned over a million people have been removed
from the Texas voter rolls deemed ineligible. Now you can
check to see if you're on the suspended list. You
can and it could happen if you haven't voted in
a while. Go to vote Texas dot gov and remember

(01:24):
October seventh is the last day to register to vote
in the November fifth elections. Weather today, we're getting some
rain clouds around. We do have a fifty percent chance
of showers on and off throughout the day, up to
eighty eight for the high right now, seventy seven in uptown.
And you're up to date on sunny and tell me

handmade wood, furniture and home goods.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well, they are going to be featured out at the
Katie Home Improvement Show debuting how they renovated their Belleville
nineteen twelve farmhouse and managed to stay married during the renovation.
They did it all by themselves. They always involved their
six kids. Oh and there's also going to be a seminar,
and I'm sure she does this as well.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Kelly. That is on how to make sour bread.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
So if you have all kinds of problems with bread,
sourbread is the way to go. It's going to be
an incredible show. If you're a di wire want to
fix up your home, and Jason and Kelly will definitely
be an inspiration.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Producer Anthony Dan This is crazy, all you barbecue lovers.
There's a beloved suburban barbecue trailer returning to its Cyprus roots.
It's Brooks Place and back in June, Trent Brooks announced
that the trailer was moving. Originally, he had been part
of the Ace Hardware off of FM Barker Cypress. He
said the owner owner sold the store, some new owners
came in. Thinks changed in the months after the joint

(03:06):
operated as a pop up in Katie's Wildcatter Saloon. It's
about a half hour drive there from Cyprus and that
can really affect business.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
He was up in.

different challenge, so he had to come back home. You

of his barbecue after reopening this past Thursday. So if
you want to experience for yourself, find him. It's Brooks Place.

just always on their phone looking at it.

Speaker 2 (05:11):

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I saw Giselle Gazelle Bunch and who used to be
married to Tom Brady. She was on a bicycle with
some guy. He's a cute guy, and he was taking
a selfie and I thought, ooh, and she didn't look
very happy, So I think she's rethinking that relationship.

Speaker 2 (05:29):

You guys, what is your turnoff? And like I said,
we're not here to judge, We're just here to learn.

not so dependent.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
What are you going to do?

Speaker 4 (06:37):
I'm going to try to be the best father. Although
I never had a father figure, and that's one of
the things I always tell my wife that my mother
was a single mother with three kids, so she never
made an excuse for us. And I don't find excuses
for everybody, because everybody can make it out of a
hole they want it.
