About this listen
In this episode of The Right Idea, we break down the final stretch of the Texas legislative session—from Texas’ foster care system and legislative battles to what’s next for HB2 and energy policy. Our hosts, Brian Phillips and Derek Cohen discuss with Andrew Brown why legislators are back in their districts more than you’d think, how powerful school boards actually are, and which bills are quietly making noise behind the scenes.
