The other thing that weve started doing is we call it moral monday iowa. And i believe it started in one of the carolinas. By right. With the naacp. But we just stole the idea. So every monday at noon before we gavel in at 1 00, we have a gathering that draws a lot of press and a lot of advocates, and we talk about an issue that were not getting any legs on. So weve had moral monday iowas on date rape. Weve had moral monday iowas on disparities in education and prisons. Weve had moral monday iowa on education spending, and next week were having it on womens health. We get these huge crowds. We picked a small room, so thats kind of cool because the huge crowds look really big. But i think we want to reclaim the moral and the freedom issues, because we believe that were the ones who work for those, and i think anybody could do some of those things. We get a lot of press coverage for it. Thank you. Senator winfield from connecticut. I wanted to go back to the point about how we talk about

You want to be able to be in your office or in your home and say, oh, here it comes all i got to do is walk down the street and catch it. And were beginning to get there. The federal government has helped with some of that. But its also got to be a ride that appeals to people. Theyve got to be able to put their bicycle on the front, which they currently cant, hop on the bus, go to work, take their bike
Chairman of the National Association of governors. Our state Senate Chairman of the National League of legislators. Our chamber of commerce lane beatty has become on the National Board of the chamber of commerce. And our mayor of Salt Lake City is now the president and the National League of cities. And so, we are looked at, i believe, as a state that is well run, knows how to get things done, but recognizes that investment in infrastructure are one of the key pillars to Economic Growth and vitality. So were here today with three incredible mayors that are going to talk to you about their stories. But before i do that, i wanted to read the president of the United States, ive been told, is competing with us today, because hes at the National League of cities. So i very much appreciate these mayors being here, but i have a statement i want to read to you from mayor ralph becker who is the president of the league of cities.

King i think a Writers Institute is something that is very important within the culture. We are a culture of words, of voices, words are key to our imagination, our capacity to envision things, we ourselves are not completely tied to print on the page senses of writing, but i think that there is no other art form so readily accessible other than perhaps film which we work with too, but it is there is something in literature that just captures the human spirit.
