D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto’s hefty Secure DC crime bill is moving forward, after being approved by the Public Safety and Judiciary committee last week. Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White joins the show to discuss his thoughts and critiques of the bill. Plus, Councilmember White discusses a potentially new ticket amnesty program, emergency rental assistance, and a controversial recent appearance at a protest.

A report released this week suggests Montgomery County Public Schools did not do an adequate job of investigating claims of sexual harassment by a school principal. This came a day after Superintendent Monifa McKnight said the school board had asked her to resign. Montgomery County Councilmember and Education and Culture Committee chair Will Jawando weighs in. Earlier this month Councilmember Jawando pulled a bill that would have phased out tipped minimum wage by 2028. The councilmember explains why and what comes next.
