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 future remains uncertain for a major light rail project to connect two of Maryland’s most populous counties, despite a recent legal victory for its supporters. A federal judge has now dismissed an environmental challenge to the Purple Line plan, but some of the work has been suspended pending further legal review. Kojo chats with Maryland Transportation Secretary Pete Rahn and Montgomery County Council Chair Roger Berliner about where things go from here and what’s at stake for Maryland and Montgomery County.
