First hour: Understanding the Rent Relief Act and affordable housing policies
Second hour: Discussing the new National Comedy Center in Jamestown
Senator Kamala Harris has proposed a so-called Rent Relief Act, which would offer a tax credit to about 20 million rent-burdened Americans. Critics of the bill say it’s well-intentioned, but won’t work. We discuss affordable housing policies with our guests. In studio:
- Kent Gardner, chief economist with the Center for Governmental Research
- Pete Nabozny, early childhood policy director at The Children's Agenda
- Stuart Mitchell, president and CEO of PathStone Corporation
Then in our second hour, the National Comedy Center had its grand opening last week in Jamestown, and residents hope it will help revitalize the city. We’ll talk with a comedy expert about the impact of the center and the impact of comedy, and we’ll discuss the future of Jamestown. Our guests:
- Journey Gunderson, executive director of the National Comedy Center
- John Forrest Thompson, improviser and co-owner of the Focus Theatre
