With less than a month before the April 26th primary, we’ll start with Linda Lamone, the Administrator of the MD State Board of Elections, who joins walks us through the process of voting. It’s going to be different than the last time. This go around: we’ll all use paper ballots.
And when it comes to making choices on those ballots for members of the Baltimore City Council, we’ve got plenty to choose from. 14 seats, more than 100 candidates, and several seats in which no incumbent is running. We’ll sort it all out with WYPR’s P. Kenneth Burns and the Baltimore Sun’s Luke Broadwater.
Then, a look at the remarkable life of Bessie Margolin. She was a ground-breaking New Deal lawyer who was raised in a Jewish orphanage in New Orleans. Attorney and writer Marlene Trestman, raised by the same child welfare agency, has written a biography of Bessie Margolin, a woman of extraordinary legal achievement who also came to be her mentor and friend. Ms. Trestman joins Tom in the studio to talk about this Fair Labor Lawyer.
