THIS WEEK ON ANOTHER VIEW ?? We'll be joined via phone by Congressman Bobby Scott to answer your questions about the current administration. From the firing of thousands of federal workers, to the ending of all federal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, to allowing a non-elected person to have access to sensitive data about Americans, to putting into motion the ending of the Department of Education, the Trump administration has touched just about every aspect of American life. Yet outside of the wringing of hands and exasperation of elected officials, nothing seems to be happening to stop the carnage. The question is… why? We ask that question of Congressman Bobby Scott, who represents Virginia's third congressional district, and serves as the Ranking Member of the Committee on Education and Workforce. Tune in TOMORROW 3/6 at 12pm on WHRV 89.5FM
