Lawmakers in Annapolis adjourned this week after passing a slew of substantial bills, including setting up a recreational marijuana marketplace and eliminating the statute of limitations on child sex abuse lawsuits. Maryland House Majority Leader Marc Korman (D-Montgomery) joins the program to discuss what passed this year --- and any priorities that were left behind.

Then, D.C. Councilmember Matt Frumin (D-Ward 3) makes his Politics Hour debut. We ask about his first months in office, and where he stands on the controversial plan to create bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue. Plus, we talk about his bill that would limit the amount that the D.C. Housing Authority can pay landlords who rent to voucher holders.

WAMU Chief Content Officer Tom Hudson joins the program to talk about why WAMU and The Politics Hour are no longer posting on Twitter.
