About this episode
The episode discusses the upcoming mayoral race, updates on the Rock Creek Tennis Center, and highlights new bars in DC, along with a segment on transparency issues in the city.
We’re going to get into the mayoral race as it heads into its final week, we’re going to talk about why you should pay attention to what’s happening at the Rock Creek Tennis Center, and we’re going to talk new bars. Plus, in a members-only fourth segment, the DC Council has done something weird to the city’s open-meetings law, and we want to look at the state of transparency in our city. Want some more DC news?
