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: Marc Fisher
One of the nation’s most generous paid leave policies is up for a vote this week and appears to have strong support from the city’s progressive leaders. But some of the city’s business owners are worried about the cost. since the 11 weeks of paid leave would be funded by a per-employee payroll tax. We weigh the real costs of the paid leave policy and examine other financial challenges local business owners face in this region.
