Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Yesterday, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced that Neal Cohen – a former airline and aerospace executive – was no longer being considered for the job. Some say the Metro Board leaked Cohen’s name too soon, a repeat of the February 2014 scenario when three finalists withdrew after learning their names would become public. We consider the ongoing challenges facing the transit agency and how the agency’s structure is affecting the search.
Guests
- Chris Zimmerman Vice President for Economic Development, Smart Growth America; Former board member, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
