ITT Sound Off: Living With Hurricanes

Futuro Media
About this episode

Julio and guest co-host Renée Graham, opinion columnist at The Boston Globe, discuss the impact of Hurricane Ian in Florida, and recent polling of Latino voters and how it will impact the midterms. They also get into the controversy surrounding retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who used state welfare funds to finance his own projects in Mississippi.

ITT Staff Picks:

  • There are many reasons people decide to stay put during a hurricane. The Washington Post spoke to some Florida residents about why they didn’t evacuate when Ian hit.

  • Read the full report from the Pew Research Center on the Latino electorate.

  • Anna Wolfe reports on former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s involvement in helping send state welfare funds to finance Brett Favre’s volleyball stadium, for Mississippi Today.
