I'll probably be hammered, but I want to step in and defend Spencer Cox. [View all]

I highly recommend this forum. Time codes for sections below.

With Malice Toward None, With Charity for All, 2/21/24

Wes Moore's hallmark legislation and work to expand funding for a service year after high school is something that is truly a step in the right direction. And Spencer Cox has championed a similar program in Utah. And, at least as of this forum, they are working with other governors to promote similar legislation in other states.

The entire program is worthwhile, but the section with Spencer Cox and Wes Moore (14:01 to 51:29) is a must see for anyone looking for signs of hope in a bleak political landscape.
