Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A new Washington Post poll named crime as the biggest problem facing Washington, D.C.-a 12 percent increase from 2011. The responses come during a year of increased violence. So far in 2015, homicides have seen a 60 percent increase from this time last year and fewer city residents say their neighborhood feels safe. We discuss perceptions of local crime –and how its impacted the ratings of local leaders today.
