Reporters interested in asking Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich questions will have the opportunity to do so during this week’s virtual media briefing, scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 19.
This week, the County Executive will focus on the benefits of using grass fields instead of continuing to spend money on unhealthy synthetic turf fields for Montgomery County Public Schools athletics. He explains his opposition to Head Start changes the federal government is trying to implement and highlights efforts made to ensure safe streets for everyone as school begins again. His guests this week will be:
