    ‘Police, alone, can't do this:’ DC council member wants to fight violence with better operations
    Oct 11 2023
    In D.C., homicides are up 38% over last year, and carjackings with a gun are up more than 100%. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is calling for more police and officer presence in District neighborhoods. But At-Large Council Member Robert White doesn’t think more police is the solution. He thinks the devil is in the details and is proposing a new bill to stem rising crime by improving the city’s crime lab and emergency call center. On the show, Council Member White walks us through his bill — the Whole Government Response to Crime Act of 2023. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    ‘Failure is not an option:’ Bringing life back to Union Station
    Sep 27 2023
    A year and some change — that’s how long Doug Carr, Union Station Redevelopment Corporation CEO and President, has been at the helm of the D.C. region’s largest transit hub and the effort to redevelop it. In recent years, Union Station has become a shell of its former self — a once bustling and booming place for transportation, shopping, and dining. The pandemic didn’t help. But Carr hopes to change that with a major redevelopment project that promises to make Union Station “cool and enjoyable again.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
