Episode: How a Bill Really Becomes Law -- The Local Government Edition
Description: Thirty-five people have died on roads in Montgomery County, MD, in 2022; not one related to escooters, but that is the bill theΒ County Council passed recently. An omnibus road safety bill, which is desperately needed, isn't even an idea despite unanimity on the council that road deaths are the bigger problem. Sunil Dasgupta talks with County Council member Sidney Katz about the justification for and provisions in the escooters law he sponsored. Music from DC area progresive rock band A Shrewdness of Apes.
