HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM JAY: It’s February in Houston. That means you might be wearing a heavy coat in the morning, but there’s a solid chance you will be warm by 3 p.m. February also means we are only a couple of months away from the 2023 college basketball championship, and I can only imagine if our own University of Houston Cougars could represent this city on that stage. Our front-page story addresses an issue that has become more prevalent due to Houston being a city with no zoning requirements: the lighting and spacing between commercial and residential properties, and its e ects on the neighborhood. As always, please think of our great advertisers and shop local when you can. Jay McMahon, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM SHAWN: Reporting news from a hyperlocal perspective is what we specialize in at Community Impact , which can be seen on display in several parts of this month’s paper. Our cover story seeks to shine a local light on the Houston-wide issue of protecting residential development. We also kick o our coverage of the Texas Legislature on Page 11 with a story on a the start of a new session and a roundup of a few key bills led by local lawmakers. Check back with us each month for more Capitol coverage as the 2023 session continues. Shawn Arrajj, SENIOR EDITOR
