District Dogs Flood Exposes D.C.’s Flaws


Listen Later

It’s one of the saddest stories of the year — and the most infuriating. A flood at a DC doggie day-care last month led to the deaths of 10 dogs. Mark Seagraves from Channel 4 has been all over the story, which turns out to say a lot about the dysfunctional state of the city’s 911 call center, among other city agencies. Mark talked about the Bowser administration’s troubling reaction to the news, and what the fallout is likely to be.
