News Wrap: Opioid lawsuit, trash incineration in headlines. Plus, remembering Mary Pat Clarke.

from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore

It is the Midday Newswrap on today's show. Baltimore’s go-it-alone approach to holding companies accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic continues to pay off. This week, the city won yet another huge judgment. WYPR’s Health Reporter Scott Maucione has the latest. Plus, Aman Azhar of Inside Climate News reports on efforts to end Maryland’s use of energy generated by trash incineration. Advocates have long railed against waste-to-energy plants, but now lawmakers are signaling their appetite for change.  And, we remember a titan of Baltimore politics. Mary Pat Clarke passed away this week. Former Baltimore City Councilman Anthony Ambridge reflects on her life of service.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
