On Friday’s show: Harris County is asking the Department of Justice to intervene after thousands of mail-in ballots and applications were rejected in the wake of a strict new voting law passed in the Texas Legislature.

And Texas is receiving over a billion dollars from pharmaceutical companies as part of a settlement over the opioid epidemic. We take a look at how the money will be used.

Also this hour: We recently devoted time to discussing why ongoing efforts to reduce the number of traffic fatalities on Texas roads don't seem to be working. We know what's been tried: messaging on roadways, grants to promote crackdowns on speeders, jury awards to discourage drunk driving, and DWI checkpoints. So, today, we discuss what else might work and welcome your suggestions.

And we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
