A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week's news, we turn to a rotating panel of "non-experts" to parse The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on a rule change allowing area churches to receive FEMA relief funds if they were damaged by flooding from Harvey, and a study suggesting how Houston roads are designed is encouraging drivers to speed — and therefore crash — more often.

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

  • Wayne Ashley, academic adviser, digital media strategist, and editor of TexasLeftist.com
  • Vlad Davidiuk, communications director for the Harris County Republican Party
  • Monica Richart, attorney and community education advocate
