Raumesh Akbari, Charlie Caswel, and Meka Egwuekwe

My guests include State Senator Raumesh Akbari. With the redistricting issue at the forefront of the upcoming elections, I wanted to catch up with her to have her share why this is no time to be complacent. Also, her feelings about the MSCS oversight committee and what might this look like moving forward. Next, the County Commission just approved the new budget but not without a property tax increase. Charlie Caswell joins me to discuss what many have said was a challenging session and the prospects of working with a new group of members. Lastly, we are all becoming familiar with the new world of technology led by AI. CodeCrew is helping to mentor underrepresented youth and adults to be the next tech innovators through computer science. CEO Meka Egwuekwe joins to tell us how. That and more on air and online, 6pm on 91.7 FM WYXR. Also, the WYXR app, Tunein, Facebook Live and wherever you get your podcasts.It’s time to talk!
