On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Kevin Kinnally, Michael Sanderson, Natasha Mehu, Drew Jabin, and Alex Butler recap MACo's advocacy in the 2020 session of the Maryland General Assembly.This year, for the first time in since the Civil War, the General Assembly closed session early on March 18, due to precautionary social distancing measures taken to curb the spread of COVID-19.Despite the unusual circumstances, MACo’s advocacy still led to more positive outcomes for its members. Bills that we supported had a greater likelihood of passage, while bills we opposed had a larger tendency to fail. MACo also helped improve many pieces of legislation through articulating county positions in amendments and will continue to work with State partners in several areas of ongoing administrative improvement.MACo has made the podcast available through both iTunes and Google Play Music by searching Conduit Street Podcast.
