In Session - Feb. 19 2020
from FNP Politics Hosted by Graham Cullen
In this week's episode of In Session, host Heather Mongilio and county government/statehouse reporter Steve Bohnel discuss a trio of local bills. Sen. Ron Young (D-Frederick), after some discussion with the Maryland Department of Transportation, has decided to move forward with a bill discussing commuter buses along I-270 from the city of Frederick area to Washington D.C. and northern Virginia. Then, they discuss a bill by Del. Dan Cox (R-Frederick and Carroll) which would provide relief to Thurmont and its residents by lessening their requirements for solar energy under the Clean Energy Jobs Act. Lastly, they discuss a bill by Sen. Young which would require more annual training for concealed carry handgun permit holders. The bill exempts law enforcement officers but was heavily opposed at a hearing last week. They also discuss the Kirwan legislation and some light moments involving Del. Haven Shoemaker (R-Carroll) and House Majority Leader Eric Leudtke (D) on the House floor Monday.
