Steve Raabe, president of OpinionWorks research firm, joins the podcast to discuss the progress, politics and public opinion around restoring the Chesapeake Bay. We cover how public sentiment in the Chesapeake region has evolved and also how it has remained consistent; discuss how the Bay can transcend the usual partisan divides; compare how environmental awareness in the Chesapeake region compares with other parts of the country; speculate on the impacts of the Trump Administration's proposed cuts to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and close with Steve's prediction about the Bay's health ten years from now.
