News or Noise: Redistricting, Revenue, and NBA Hot Takes

Every month, the Conduit Street Podcast separates the headlines that matter from the stories generating more attention than action. Let's take a look at where things stand as July comes to an end.In this edition of News or Noise, Kevin Kinnally, Michael Sanderson, and Karrington Anderson discuss Maryland's upcoming special session on congressional redistricting, why limiting bill drafting isn't as unusual as it may seem, and how legislative practices have evolved over time. They also examine ongoing concerns about local health department funding, the need for a transparent funding formula, and the importance of counties having predictable budget numbers before the fiscal year begins. Finally, our hosts look ahead to Maryland's new task force on county and municipal revenue structures and what it could mean for local governments heading into the 2027 legislative session. And, of course, the segment wouldn't be complete without sports banter. Tune in for the spirited debate over LeBron James, the Philadelphia 76ers, and NBA championship predictions.Notes:Does Maryland’s Public Health Funding Still Fit?Special Session Preview: Bill Language, Testimony Details, and What’s AheadFollow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on Facebook
