Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
When the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated restrictions to slow rapid residential growth in Loudoun County last month, communities in the rural west cried foul. Now they are threatening to secede, creating a new Catochtin County. A discussion on the politics of growth, the urban/rural divide, and the feasibility of secession.
