Beto Altamirano, CEO of Tech Bloc and co-founder of the Better Futures Institute, shares his ideas on the issue of connecting San Antonio and Austin by train.  How it could work, and who would need to be involved to make this happen.

Then, District 4 Councilmember Edward Mungia talks with Randy about why he wanted to see the funding for the Spurs arena go to a vote for San Antonio residents.  He also talks about his efforts to get long-term funding for Pre-K 4 SA, which will be on the ballot in November.

On Reporter’s Roundtable, Stephanie Koithan with the SA Current, discusses her latest story on all the loopholes in Governor Abbott’s call for a moratorium on data centers. She explains how those loopholes will allow the centers to be built as planned- despite the call to stop them.
