Topic: Zika Virus
Discussed by Commissioner Cactus Jack Cagle

A proposal to release genetically altered mosquitoes into the United
States for the first time hit a possible stumbling block, with voters in the
Florida Keys expressing uncertainty about a field trial there.
Listen in as Jack Cagle, Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner, discusses this
serious issue which affects us all.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why is it becoming more difficult to control the mosquito population?
Other than Zika, what other diseases are mosquitos bringing to Texas and
America?
Are other insects being unnecessarily eliminated when chemicals are used to kill
mosquitos? Are these insects helpful or harmful?
Some precincts in Texas are researching the benefits of a genetically modified
mosquito. Listen in as Commissioner Cagle explains.

Title: Harris County is HUGE!!
Topic: Harris County Population Growth
Discussed by Commissioner Cactus Jack Cagle
with Cactus Jack Cagle (www.CactusJackCagle.com)
Little known facts about Harris County that you may not be aware of
will be revealed here today with Commissioner Cactus Jack Cagle. Did you know
that the population in Harris County is equivalent to the population in the
entire state of Louisiana? Precinct 4 alone has more people than
eight states! Over the next fifteen years, the population in Harris County,
which is currently nearly 4.5 million people, is expected to double. Double!
That means we could potentially see 9 million people living in the area.
Growth is great for the economy, but it is terrible for traffic! It seems like
there is always some road, some highway that is under construction – and this
needs to happen to make it easier to drive around the city with more ease! “There
will always be traffic,” Cactus says. “But if time is money then we
need to improve our infrastructure.” New subdivisions are popping up
everywhere, too. Traditionally, the Precinct 4 Commissioner’s court approves
nine-to-nineteen new subdivision requests every other week. People want to move
to Harris County, specifically the unincorporated areas in the North and
Northwest sections. They will need more ways to get from A to B.
Listen in as Cactus Jack discusses the four bonds on the ballot for Harris
County. I, Terry Lowry, host of The What’s UP Radio Program and Editor
of the LINK Letter, recommend a FOR vote for
all four bonds on the Harris County ballot.
