Political Roundup: Firefighter Layoffs, And The DNC Passes On Houston

From Houston losing its bid to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention, to reaction to Mayor Turner's interview regarding firefighter layoffs, to the last efforts at the Texas Legislature to address Gov.

In the audio above, Craig Cohen discusses those and other stories with Renée Cross of the University of Houston and Jay Aiyer from Texas Southern University and co-host of Houston Public Media's Party Politics podcast.
