The Politics Hour – October 19, 2018
Dirk Haire, the Chair of Maryland's GOP, joins us to talk about the upcoming election. And we meet Jamie Sycamore, who is running as an Independent for the D.C. Council.
Metro's board chairman Jack Evans.
Metro’s “SafeTrack” maintenance surge moved into its sixth phase on Monday, with single-tracking and delays hitting its busy Red Line. The adjustments may be a headache for commuters, but a derailment last week near the East Falls Church station highlights the need for good upkeep on the system’s tracks. But with Metro leaders discussing putting late-night weekend service on the chopping block for good, just how much maintenance work can Metro consumers handle? We discuss how Metro is handling its rehab work with WMATA Board Chair Jack Evans.
Guests
- Jack Evans Member, D.C. Council (D-Ward 2); Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Revenue
