This Week on the Conduit Street Podcast, we bring you an episode fresh from Sine Die to break down the 2026 legislative session from start to finish.
With major leadership shakeups before session even began, a fast-moving 90 days, and plenty of last-minute fireworks, this year was anything but predictable. Hosts Dom Butchko, Sarah Sample, and Karrington Anderson walk through the biggest storylines, from housing and energy to labor, corrections, and more. They also share key wins, notable bills, and what mattered most for counties.
The conversation doesn’t end there! With an election year ahead and major budget challenges looming, the team looks ahead to what’s next, including affordability pressures, education funding gaps, and the future of state-local partnerships.
If you want the full picture of what just happened in Annapolis and what it means moving forward, this episode has you covered.
