Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Jurisdictions in Montgomery County like Takoma Park extended voting in municipal elections to non-citizens years ago. Last week, the Hyattsville City Council voted to do the same, allowing all residents, whether undocumented immigrants or those here on visas, to have a say in local matterss. Mount Rainier, Md. has a similar law in the works as well. But not all residents support the policy. We discuss what the decision means for residents, and why some have concerns.
Guests
- Joseph Solomon Member, Hyattsville City Council (Ward 5)
- Kevin Oriani Resident, Hyattsville Maryland
- Tracy Hadden Loh Member, Mt Rainier City Council (Ward 1)
- Franklin Ventura Hyattsville resident
