D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb joins Kojo and Tom for his Politics Hour debut. Schwalb talks about his approach to public safety and how he's tackling discrimination against people with housing vouchers. Plus, we ask whether or not Schwalb is pursuing a pair of lawsuits against the Washington Commanders, which were first filed by former Attorney General Karl Racine.

After a weeks-long manhunt, the onetime chief of staff to former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was killed in an FBI-involved shooting. The details surrounding Roy McGrath's death remain murky, as well as the reason he missed his court date, where he was charged with fraud, theft, and falsifying records. Baltimore Banner enterprise reporter Tim Prudente brings us the story.

And next week, Virginia lawmakers head to Richmond to take up Gov. Glenn Youngkin's vetoes and amendments. Sen. George Barker (D-Fairfax) gives us a preview of next week's one-day meeting. Plus: Last we heard, Virginia Republicans and Democrats were split on the state budget. Where do budget negotiations stand now?
