Spring is here and it's time to start planning for the 2023
legislative session! This week, we discuss the release of Texas
Impact's primer on the Public Utilities Commission of Texas' Sunset
review. Scott talks with our own Isa Peterson, who is the lead
author of our new policy primer Light and Life: Using the Public
Utility Commission of Texas Sunset Review to Safeguard Texans’
Health and Wellbeing. We also hear from Cara Cook from the Alliance
of Nurses for Healthy Environments, who gives a health
professional's perspective on climate change and health. On Josh's
Weekly Watch List we hear about a tight legislative race in North
Texas and ripples of the European refugee crisis coming to the
Texas-Mexico border. Our Weekly Word is brought to us by Abel Vega,
Director of Mission, Service & Justice Ministries, Rio Texas Annual
Conference, UMC. Follow the link below to read the primer!
