Creating the World's Best Capital

Listen Thursday, Dec. 18, 2008 at 12:06 p.m. in Economy, Politics

House Speaker Newt Gingrich made a pledge more than a decade ago to make Washington, D.C. "the best capital city in the world." Years later, some experts say we're not even close to achieving that goal. Join Kojo as we talk about obstacles to the District's long-term prosperity and the role Congress and the Federal government should play in putting the city on the path to success.
