Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The forum will be held in rooms 211 and 213 of the Career Programs Building, with doors opening at 7:00 a.m. A breakfast will follow at 7:15 a.m., and the formal program is set to begin at 8:00 a.m.
“Public policy is not a spectator sport. It is critical that our legislators, the elected public servants that represent us, hear from us, their constituents,” said Paul Frey, president and CEO of The Chamber of Washington County. “The Chamber works hard to make our community better, and we can’t do it alone. Our representatives in Annapolis seek and value our input, so it is incumbent upon each one of us to let all our respective voices be heard.”

While other outlets focus on getting quotes from politicians who don't even live in our congressional district, we're focused on providing the hard-hitting truths and facts without political spin.

But if you're not, that's fine too—we're confident in our mission and will be here if you decide you're ready for the truth. Just $5/month helps fund our local reporting, live election night coverage, and more.
