ROCKVILLE, Md., November 18, 2016—Montgomery County Councilmember Sidney Katz, who serves on the Council’s Public Safety Committee, will be the featured guest at 2:30 p.m. TODAY, Friday, Nov. 18, on En Sintonía con el Concejo del Condado de Montgomery (Tuned In with the Montgomery County Council), a weekly show on Radio America (WACA 1540 AM). Councilmember Katz will address the local and nationwide reaction to last week’s elections and why the County government has sought to reaffirm the safety and trust of all residents.
Earlier this week, the Council unanimously approved a resolution that stated Montgomery County would not tolerate discrimination or demonstrations of hate against any individual or group.
Throughout the week, groups of students from several high schools have left their classrooms to protest the outcome of the presidential election.
This week’s show also will serve to introduce the new host of En Sintonía con el Concejo del Condado de Montgomery. Lilian Mass, a veteran area television reporter, will soon take over hosting of show. This week, she and current host Andrea Sarralde will talk about some of the key topics that will be the focus of future shows.
The Montgomery County Council and Radio America have entered into a partnership that provides the Latino community with key information on issues and programs. The partnership also provides a forum for residents to express views and ask questions. The partnership includes the weekly one- hour show each Friday on the Washington Region’s most popular Spanish language station.
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.
In addition to the radio broadcast, the show can be heard via the Internet at: http://radioamerica.net/en-vivo/ . Video links with a summary of the show are available each week at the County Council's newly-redesigned, mobile friendly web site at: www.montgomerycountymd.gov/council .
