HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM JAY: Electricity prices continue to soar here in Texas, but what is also soaring is the adoption of solar power, the fastest-growing source of energy in the state. Inside (see Page 17),we interview a solar energy specialist who answers some common questions and discusses the potential bene ts of adopting solar power into an energy plan.

FROM SHAWN: We’ve heard a lot about the rising cost of homes in the Houston area over the past few years, which has put a strain on people across a range of income levels. Our front-page story this month looks speci cally at what the fallout has been for those who work in our city and with local nonpro ts to provide and preserve a ordable housing, a resource that is becoming increasingly crucial as more people move to Houston.
