For Immediate Release: Friday, May 22, 2015
Montgomery County Councilmember Sidney Katz will be the featured guest at 2 p.m. TODAY on En Sintonía con el Concejo de Montgomery (Tuned In with the Montgomery County Council), a weekly show on Radio America (WACA 1540 AM). He will talk about programs to help small businesses and the impact the new County operating budget adopted by the Council this week will have on services and schools.
Councilmember Katz, who was elected to the Council in November 2014 after a long tenure as mayor of Gaithersburg, also will talk about his perspective on being a member of the County’s legislative branch after being the head elected official in one of Maryland’s largest cities.
The Montgomery County Council and Radio America have entered into a community partnership that provides the Latino community with key information on issues and programs and provides a forum for residents to express views and ask questions of Councilmembers. The partnership includes the 30-minute weekly show at 2 p.m. each Friday on the Washington Region's most popular Spanish language station.
The show is hosted by Julie Ríos Little. Each week, the show features guests talking about important issues before the Council and occasionally the show provides information about programs offered by the County to help residents and businesses.
In addition to the radio broadcast, the show can be heard via the Internet at: http://radioamerica.net/en-vivo/
A link to an audio replay of each week's show is available at the County Council's web site at: www.montgomerycountymd.gov/council
