eighties nineties, and Today I'm Dana with producer Anthony and
the Three Things You Need to Know to Get You. Tuesday,
October twenty ninth started five people now allegedly involved in
a million dollar teachers certification cheating scandal, and one of
them arrested, Vincent Grayson, a basketball coach out at the
(00:24):
Booker T. Washington High School at HISD. He's accused of
organizing the whole thing. Also the assistant principal there, Nicholas Newton.
At least two hundred teachers are falsely certified. Now, speaking
of HISD and money, they told voters their four point
four billion dollar bond proposal wouldn't raise taxes, but if
(00:44):
you voted, you'll see what the ballot says. It says
it is a property tax increase. Your rate won't increase,
but your overall tax burden.

So when I was really young, my mom went out

to stay behind. I must have been like, I don't know,
seven years old, and I remember I came home from
school and I was super bummed because it had got
cold and it was raining really bad.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Well, my dad said, put on your Halloween costume. It
doesn't matter if it's just you and I. So he
got a pillowcase, you know, he said that's how him
and his brothers would do it. He got a pillowcase
and he took me to gas station, the mall, just
anywhere that he could take me inside. And I ended
up filling up my pillowcase. He's like, we're not going
to stop and fill the pillowcase. Is you know, kind
(06:51):
of fool And back then my pillowcase was like, you know,
like a seven year old pillowcase, so it's smaller. Yeah,
And he just took me out all night everywhere, and
these gas stations would give me full size candy bars.
