Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Jen Golbeck
A legislative fight is brewing over property taxes in Prince George’s County, where a tax reform initiative in the 1970s limited increases to percent. Now County Executive Rushern Baker is proposing a 15 percent increase to help fund schools, a move he says is allowed under a 2012 state law. Opponents say it’s a loophole that won’t fly legally–or with voters. We explore the issues.
Guests
- Judy Robinson Prince George's resident; former chair of Prince George's Citizens for Tax Reform and Term Limitation
- Matt Bush Maryland Reporter, WAMU 88.5
