A. There’s no substitute for great friends.
B. The little things are the big things.
C. Let things breathe — even important things need space.
D. Life is shorter than you think. Tell them you love them now.
E. We can win in this lifetime.
F. I get why runners always talk about running.
G. None of us are bigger than the program — but we make the program.

Tisch’s “public safety” strategy: Go to most disinvested areas, ticket people for being poor. When they can’t pay fines, issue warrants. Then say, “Look we’re catching all these dangerous criminals with arrest warrants.” This is broken windows policing.

Senator Antonio Hayes writes about what it means to lead the Senate Finance Committee as a son of West Baltimore, the leaders who helped pave the way, and the responsibility that comes with making decisions that affect families across Maryland.
I especially appreciated his reflections on Senator Delores Kelley, someone I learned so much from during my early years in the Senate, and his recognition that behind every policy decision are real people whose lives are affected.
I’m proud to have @AntonioHayes40 leading the Finance Committee and look forward to the work ahead.

This caused numerous failing exams to pass, and resulted in "at least one instance" where an otherwise passing exam fell below the requisite threshold.
