Here we are in Season 2, Episode 2 – and we are taking it on the road at MACo. The week of August 14, 2023 was the annual Maryland Association of Counties conference in Ocean City. Our colleagues from the Maryland Chamber joined the thousands of local, state and federal government officials, legislators and many of our families for a week of meetings, educational sessions and of course, crabs and cocktails.
We were part of “Podcast Row” on Thursday and Friday at MACo, along with other Maryland podcasters, and we were able to grab various experts to discuss a variety of important issues being tackled at the local and state level. Throughout the conference we spoke with Walter Simmons with Employ Prince George’s to discuss workforce development, Grason Wiggins with Harris Jones & Malone to discuss rent control, Scott Waitlevertch with Columbia Gas to discuss the newly released Climate Pathway Report, as well as Heather Cascone to discuss the Save our Benefits Coalition and health benefits costs.
So here is it, Between Two Chambers, live from MACo.
