Get local news delivered straight to your phone
Washington City Podcast opened its phone line for furloughed workers, contractors, and non-feds affected by the shutdown to call and complain. And they did. We hear from them in this episode, and also catch up on local news. Mitch Ryals talks about growing frustrations with Ward 4’s Councilmember Brandon Todd, and host Will Warren talks about the ripple effect of the partial shutdown, as well as changes to the Council’s committees.
