Each week, Texas Scorecard Managing Editor Brandon Waltens visits with special guests and Texas Scorecard reporters, taking a look at the stories that are making headlines.

This week, Gov. Greg Abbott declared: “It’s time to open Texas 100 percent.” Brandon and Texas Scorecard CEO Michael Quinn Sullivan will discuss this and what the governor’s new executive order really means for the citizens of Texas.

Also this week, ERCOT—the embattled council that oversees Texas’ electrical grid—fired its CEO.

And what did the Texas Legislature do this week? Not much.
