As I’ve discussed before, co-sponsorship is the biggest waste of time in Annapolis.

Asking your colleagues to add their names to a bill does not help make the case that your legislation is sound public policy.

But there are exceptions.

When the Governor gives the General Assembly the opportunity to sign on to his bills before he makes the case for their passage in his State of the State address tomorrow, I signed on to all nine of them.

Two are of note for me.

One would create a service option for students the year after they graduate from high school.

Encouraging others to follow my career path in public service has been the passion of my legislative career.

Governor Moore will also be introducing a bill creating the Build Our Future Grant Pilot Program.

I don’t know the details of his legislation, but Senator McCray and I will be introducing a bill that would invest in skills training for City residents to produce a workforce to rebuild Baltimore City’s infrastructure.

The Governor’s bill could become the vehicle for forward movement on aspects of our bill.
