\t\t\t\t\t\"HelloHello Houston: The Commuter Cut<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s edition of \u201cThe Commuter Cut,\u201d we hear Ernie, Frank, and Celeste’s conversation with former Houston City Council member Dr. Leticia Plummer<\/a>, who discusses running for Harris County Judge, as well as her vision and priorities for this role.<\/p>\n

Then, they are joined by Houston City Controller Chris Hollins<\/a>, who shares his thoughts on a proposal that could potentially increase the city\u2019s revenue by enacting certain policies. Controller Hollins walks us through what it would mean, its risks, and what’s feasible about it.<\/p>\n

Plus, we also learn about the world premiere of composer Tom Cipullo\u2019s latest opera, Hobson\u2019s Choice<\/a>, from Kathleen Belcher, Artistic Director of the University of Houston\u2019s Moores Opera Center, who’s also directing the opera.<\/p>\n
