FROM SHAWN: The November 2023 election is around the corner, and it’s not just the mayoral race that will be on ballots in Houston. Our front-page story this month takes a look at one of several charter amendments voters may get the chance to decide on. This one relates to Houston’s relationship with its metropolitan planning organization, the Houston-Galveston Area Council. Check out Pages 14-15 for an explainer on what the H-GAC is, how it works alongside cities like Houston to address transportation and infrastructure needs, and what local activists are looking to change. Shawn Arrajj, SENIOR EDITOR
