Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Councilmember Marc Elrich
A thousand-page document describing a comprehensive plan for Washington, D.C. sparks contentious debate at a hearing this week. Virginia’s governor renews calls for Medicaid expansion as lawmakers prepare for a special session next month. And teachers in Prince George’s County held a sick-out Monday and launched a work-to-rule protest against what they say are unjustified raises for some central office employees. Plus, we interview Marc Elrich, candidate for Montgomery County Executive, and Kim R. Ford, who is running to represent Washington, D.C. in the U.S. Congress.
Sorting political fact from fiction, and having fun while we’re at it. Join us for our weekly review of the politics, policies, and personalities of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
