This forever. And even for folks who are experienced, clarity helps everyone. How often we hear about journalism "shining a light," while ignoring if sources are in the dark.
Big question though is whether the tax can be collected at all dispensaries are just ones in unincorporated areas. Almost guaranteed that there will be a court case over this

This week, I got to do something that journalists are not always given the opportunity to do after they publish stories: return to the community they spent months reporting at to distribute the story in person. 🧵
My reporting partner @wendyselene & I spent four days in Cloverleaf handing out printed flyers that contained resources on how to prepare and stay safe during a chemical emergency and info on how residents could connect with local organizations and become civically engaged.
@wendyselene In March, we published a story on how public data from the state’s air monitoring system is difficult to understand & usually only in English, leaving Latino-majority neighborhoods like Cloverleaf unaware if the air they breathe is safe. via @TexasTribune texastribune.org/2024/03/14/tex…
@wendyselene @TexasTribune We knew we had to get creative and get our story/resources to affected communities: 🔸More than 71% of Cloverleaf residents speak Spanish at home. 🔸Residents told us they didn't know the state had an air monitoring network. 🔸They are not regular readers of @TexasTribune
@wendyselene @TexasTribune Even connecting with the community was a challenge. @wendyselene & I spent months trying to build trust. From our reporting we learned that residents consume news through Facebook groups, WhatsApp & word of mouth. We knew that just publishing a story was not enough.
@wendyselene @TexasTribune After the publication of the story, we returned to Cloverleaf chatted with residents, walked for hours at mobile home parks, local panaderias, washaterias and libraries and handed flyers to parents waiting in line to pick up their kids from school.
@wendyselene @TexasTribune Here’s what people told us: Karen, the owner of Fashion Plus, said she used to speak out at public meetings about the "fumes and chemicals." She said "I really like [the flyer]. I didn't know who to talk to but at least someone came to talk me. I am happy and I will read."
@wendyselene @TexasTribune Hugo, the general manager of El Rancho Bakery, said “It's so great that you all are doing this and taking notes and testimonials." He encouraged his clients to pick up papers and even handed them out in front of us. He said he hopes more people reach out to us.
@wendyselene @TexasTribune "If y'all had never come by. I would have not been as informed," said Jocelyn. She has allergies and persistent skin irritation. She said her community has been ignored . "Finally people like y'all taking time out of your hands trying to figure this out for other people.”
@wendyselene @TexasTribune As a state-wide environmental reporter who covers more than just this community, it was important to connect Cloverleaf people w/ an org that is constantly there & following up. We worked with @airallianceHOU, a nonprofit that teaches local residents about air quality.
@wendyselene @TexasTribune @airallianceHOU .@airallianceHOU also has their own air monitoring network. During our trip, we connected families with the organization and three families asked to have air monitors set up in their homes. This is the Canales family. They will be receiving an air monitor in the next week.
@wendyselene @TexasTribune @airallianceHOU Juan of @airallianceHOU was very grateful we came back to Cloverleaf. He talked a lot about the overburden reporters put on communities by coming to hear their stories but then leaving, never to return. He was thankful we are not doing that.
@wendyselene @TexasTribune @airallianceHOU This right here is what journalism is all about. ❤️🎉 We don’t always have the opportunity to do this and I feel incredibly lucky to have been provided the space. Thanks to @natijomartinez and @anxious_maria for being our north star this week.
@wendyselene @TexasTribune @airallianceHOU @natijomartinez @anxious_maria This project wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the @Altavoz_Lab fellowship, funds from @pulitzercenter & support from the incredible audience, design and editorial teams at @TexasTribune & @EHNewsroom. @wendyselene & I’s last selfie to celebrate the accomplishment!
