Joe Vogel on Maryland’s Surveillance Pricing Ban, Sam Quinones on Fentanyl Crisis, Katie Nyberg on National Parks
About this episode
The episode features discussions on Maryland's surveillance pricing ban, the fentanyl crisis, and the role of nonprofit groups in supporting national parks.
On America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, Maryland House Delegate Joe Vogel joined the program to discuss Maryland’s first-in-the-nation surveillance pricing ban, a new law aimed at preventing companies from using personal data to change or manipulate prices for individual consumers. Next, Sam Quinones, journalist and bestselling author, talked about his book “The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth.” Quinones examined the devastating impact of fentanyl and meth across the United States while also highlighting stories of recovery, resilience, and communities fighting back against the addiction crisis. Finally, Katie Nyberg, Executive Director of the National Park Friends Alliance, joined the show for the national parks segment to discuss the role of nonprofit “friends groups” that support America’s national parks through advocacy, volunteer programs, and fundraising to protect and enhance public lands.
