Opposition rises to SB 147 (January 24, 2023)

Houston Matters starts at 9:00 AM PT on 88.7FM or listen online. Join the discussion at 713-440-8870, email [email protected] or @HoustonMatters.

On Tuesday’s show: Houston BCycle, the city’s ten-year-old bike-sharing program, is in financial trouble. Can METRO join forces with him to save the service?

And we learn about opposition to Senate Bill 147, which bans companies and citizens from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia from buying land in Texas. On Monday, protesters protested outside Houston City Hall.

Also at this hour: We are discussing issues of interest to the Houston LGBTQ community and what the Texas Legislature can do about these issues in this session.

In addition, buying a car from our world of dealer models is a daunting task for many Houstonians. It may also be a different experience today than it was even a year ago. Ahead of this week’s Houston Auto Show, we’ll find out why.

And actress Lili Taylor and Houston native Susanna Bocanegra talk about their collaboration at Friday’s one-night stand at Rice’s Moody Center.

Audio recordings from today’s show will be available after 11:00 CET. We also offer a free podcast here on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
