Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Rushern Baker speaks at a 2011 meeting in Maryland.
When he took office nearly five years ago, Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker led a bold charge to improve a county flailing under political scandal, foreclosures, failing schools and frustrated residents. Today, after hard-fought battles over the budget, a controversial school takeover, a drop in crime, and ethics reform, Baker enters his last term with a transformed county. But concerns over high taxes and public safety cloud Baker’s agenda, even as new development transforms his county’s skyline. Kojo talks with Baker about the work ahead in Prince George’s County.
