Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Montgomery County Council building.
During election season, voters – and sometimes candidates – argue that we should have stricter term limits for public office holders. While our national legislature is not term-limited like the presidency, one hyper-local legislature is. The Prince George’s County Council is the only local council in the Washington region that limits its members to two four-year terms. And now, Montgomery County is considering a ballot measure that would restrict its members to three four-year terms, a proposal that could cause significant turnover on the county council.
Guests
- David Harrington President and CEO, Prince George's County Chamber of Commerce; Former Member, Prince George's County Council; Former Mayor, Bladensburg, Maryland
- Christopher Warshaw Assistant Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Political Science
