Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
D.C. DCRA Director Melinda M. Bolling
If you’ve ever renovated a property or applied for a business permit in the District, you’ve dealt with the D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs. The agency has long been plagued with complaints about slow processing times, and recent reports have criticized the agency’s oversight of District properties. But the agency can also point to progress, including a new online “one stop portal” for businesses. We speak with the Director about the challenge of overseeing the central regulatory agency in a booming city.
