The Peoples Voice Podcast

In this episode I attended a council hearing in Maryland’s Prince George’s County, to hear the arguments on a major decision reshaping the conversation around data center development across the country. On October 27, 2026, the Prince George’s County Council voted 10–1 to approve  legislation designed to strengthen oversight of data center projects. The measure eliminates exemptions that allowed certain data centers to bypass detailed site-plan reviews, requires neighborhood meetings, and provides additional opportunities for public hearings and community input. Although this is not a permanent ban on data centers, it marks an important shift toward greater transparency, accountability, and public participation in decisions affecting local communities across the county.

Deed theft continues to be a problem for unsuspecting homeowners. Currently only 12 states have deed theft laws, with Arizona, Maryland, and Alabama recently enacting new protections.

What happens when you can’t afford an attorney and the court appoints a public defender or court-appointed lawyer for you? Many people assume that means the legal representation is completely free—but that isn’t always the case. In this episode, I break down how public defender and court-appointed attorney fees can work, who may be responsible for paying them, and why these costs can sometimes come as a surprise. I’ll walk through the difference between having an attorney appointed by the court and having no financial responsibility at all, so you can better understand what to expect when facing a criminal case without the ability to hire private counsel.

In this episode, I examine the proposed end of EEO-1 reporting and the broader debate over race and gender questions in employment applications. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas argues that categorizing workers by race and gender, conflicts with the principles of Title VII and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What could this change mean for workplace discrimination, minorities, white male workers, and the future of equal employment enforcement?

Recent changes surrounding NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals and athlete representation are creating new standards for how student-athletes can enter into NIL agreements and how agents can enter the profession. The goal is to provide greater transparency an accountability.  At the same time, there is a growing push toward a more federal approach to NIL regulation, which could create consistent rules across all states instead of having athletes and agents navigate different state laws. 
I’ll look at whether these changes truly protect athletes—or give more control to the system behind the deals.
