Katz’s Deli To Reopen, an Austin Councilwoman’s Absences, and Transgendered Texans Targeted Again
TGIF! It’s the Friday News Roundup, and this week, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Axios reporter Nicole Cobler and executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec to talk about this week’s news. We’re talking about KXAN’s latest report on a particular council member’s meeting absences, the latest blow to transgender Texans and what what we miss out on when they flee the state, and some exciting news: Katz’s Deli is coming back to its old stomping grounds on West Sixth Street! And make sure you stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for this weekend.
We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor.
