The Latino Media Proclamation1:41 – 11:30

1:41

All right, so short story number one is actually something that impacted us personally here at the 817 podcast.

1:48

It's

always interesting when we're the ones in the news.

1:51

Pretty crazy.

1:52

So the Republicans voted against a Latino media recognition at the commissioner's court recently.

1:59

So there was a proclamation brought to the commissioner's court by Elisa Simmons to recognize Hola Texas, Northside Community Magazine, and the 817 podcast during...

2:10

2:11

Yeah.

Wesley KirkHost

2:12

2:15

Yes.

2:15

I honestly thought they're just going to reject it, by the way.
