AM radio has a history dating back to the early 1900’s and while I wasn’t around when Orson Welles broadcast the 1938 drama, War of the Worlds, AM radio played a major role with broadcasting news programs and music for many more decades. I recently heard about a bi-partisan Bill introduced in the Senate (you heard that correctly!) requiring AM radio capabilities to be standard in all new passenger vehicles. If the vehicle does not have AM radio as a standard option, the manufacturer must inform purchasers of this fact through clear and conspicuous labeling and may not charge any additional fee for AM radio access.

The Planning, Housing, and Parks (PHP) Committee of Montgomery County Council will hold work sessions to discuss Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 25-02, titled “Workforce Housing – Development Standards”.

Further consideration of the proposals have been postponed until June because of deliberations on the budget. This pause provides an excellent opportunity to email the County Council with your objections to the zoning package. With six of eleven members sponsoring or co-sponsoring the proposals, we only need to convince one of these councilmembers to change their position.

For ideas of what to put in your email, HERE is my shortened version of the testimony I presented to the County Council on March 11, 2025.
