Cox holds ceremony to recognize police reform, prison education and mental health bills

"These are bills that matter," the governor said of the 13 pieces of legislation that he and Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson signed.

Another bill creates a special mental health curriculum in Utah schools. Its sponsor, Sen. Daniel Thatcher, R-West Valley City, emphasized the curriculum would be designed in Utah with the goal of preventing future tragedies. "It requires inmates receive education as soon as possible, not just right before they exit the correctional facilities so they can be on that path of education," she said."The second thing is it provides parity for men and women."

"This is helping us push forward some great training programs on how to effectively intervene in a situation before it goes south," said West Jordan Police Chief Ken Wallentine."Before there’s a civil rights violation, before someone’s injured and frankly before someone puts her or his career in jeopardy."

Again those like those I know personally will be left out.

Ignore cynics, Gov. Spencer Cox says, ‘radical’ kindness can change the worldThe campaign was created by The Semnani Family Foundation and is backed by prominent Utahns, including Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, Zions Bank CEO Scott Anderson and University of Utah President Taylor Randall. Who the hell only manages one kind act a day? 🤷‍♂️ I thought one essential of doing good was not broadcasting you had done it. Sharing stories of 'spreading goodness?' I can only imagine what that will look like. It becomes self promotion, marketing & exploitation of the less fortunate when you need to share your stories of kindness.
