Houstons greatest success (July 29 2024)
On Monday's show: The Houston Fire Department is under new leadership as union members past and present expect to see checks in the mail for back pay this week. We discuss Mayor John Whitmire\u2019s decision to replace Houston\u2019s fire chief with Marty Lancton from the Houston Professional Fire Fighter\u2019s Association.
And we get an update on the status of debris removal efforts and other cleanup three weeks after Hurricane Beryl.
Also this hour: Houston has made some mistakes over the years. We talked about that on the show last week. But what do you think some of Houston\u2019s greatest successes are? Share your thoughts at talk@houstonmatters.org.
Then, with the Olympics underway, we share examples of some of the summer Olympic sports played in Houston, starting with a visit to the Houston International Table Tennis Academy in Katy.
And we learn about the many Houstonian athletes who are taking part in the summer games.
