Local officials are trying to make us all a little healthier. This week, Maryland rolls out its statewide smoking ban and Virginia weighs whether to eliminate trans-fats from school cafeterias. We consider the politics of personal vice. Plus, we talk with Congressman Tom Davis about his decision to retire after 14 years on Capitol Hill. Join us for our weekly review of the politics, policies, and personalities of D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
