Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Some local governments may soon force restaurants onto a trans-fat free diet. We explore why officials are finding it isn’t so easy to cut the fat from local budgets. Plus, we examine why laws regulating cigarettes and gun-sales are so hard to pass in Virginia. Join us for our weekly review of the politics, policies, and personalities of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
