This week on the Conduit Street Podcast, longtime hosts Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson are "back in the saddle" with a post-session "news or noise" breakdown of what really mattered, and what didn't, from Maryland's 2026 legislative session.

From a quieter-than-usual budget process to major issues left unresolved, the duo sorts through big-picture takeaways and what counties should be watching next. Does late-session floor drama actually matter? And why are data centers, energy costs, and disaster response quickly rising to the top of the policy agenda?

They also dig into a critical question for counties: how prepared is Maryland to respond to major emergencies as federal support becomes less certain, and why building a reliable, state-backed system is becoming a front-burner issue.

Listen in for a fast-paced, practical conversation on what's next for Maryland policy, and what it means for counties heading into 2027.
