About this episode
The episode discusses a proposed expansion of mopac, environmental concerns raised by residents, potential data center development in Caldwell county, and Governor Abbott's stance on a private event at a waterpark related to the Muslim holiday of EID.
The central Texas regional mobility authority is proposing a big expansion of mopac from downtown to Slaughter lane, which would add two new toll lanes in an effort to alleviate the major congestion through the corridor, but critics aren't satisfied, after last night's meeting of Austin's environmental commission where multiple people showed up to slam the proposal over environmental concerns, Caldwell county could soon see a major boom in data center development that has some residents worried about changes to their communities, and Governor Abbott is threatening to pull state funding from Grand Prairie over an event at a waterpark as Epic Waters plans to host a private event to celebrate the Muslim holiday of EID on June first that will require a modest dress code and Governor Abbott says that could result in the loss of half a million dollar for the city, which owns the water park, he also says what the park did is religious discrimination.
