Weekly Roundup - July 29, 2022

This week on The Texan's "Weekly Roundup," the team discusses the countdown to Texas’ abortion trigger ban, fundraising data from Greg Abbott and Beto O’ Rourke in the governor’s race, Parker County Commissioners Court declaring an invasion, the Fifth Circuit upholding Texas’ ban on mask mandates, Abbott promoting the federal CHIPS Act, a border agent sentenced for smuggling cocaine, how lagging development in petroleum refineries contributes to high gas prices, the amount of cash neighboring states and tribes pull in with legal gambling, Abbott renewing a disaster drought declaration, the support for school choice within a Texas House committee, lieutenant governor candidate Mike Collier’s strong words against school choice, and a $300 million subsidy proposal from the City of Austin. Plus — we say goodbye to and celebrate one of our reporters and his last week with our team before he leaves to pursue a PhD.  As always, if you have questions for our team, DM us on Twitter or email us at [email protected] — we’d love to answer your questions on a future podcast.
