On Tuesday's show: Measles alerts have been issued in San Antonio, New Braunfels, and San Marcos as an outbreak spreads across portions of Texas and other states. We talk with epidemiologist Dr. Catherine Troisi of UTHealth about the prospects of cases in Houston and who’s at risk.

Also this hour: As more Houston businesses dial back remote and hybrid work, what other benefits might entice good workers to stay? We learn about some of the latest employee benefit trends.

Then, we discuss whether school vouchers shifting funds from public schools to private ones might ultimately impact teacher pensions.

And we reflect on the music of Houston-based ska band Los Skarnales, who play Friday night at The Heights Theater.
