The Council of State Governments met in Baltimore this week and I was fortunate to attend. I serve on the Transportation Committee. On Tuesday, we heard from Geoffrey Canada, Founder of the Harlem Children's Zone and Governor Wes Moore, they discussed the importance of educating our children and providing opportunities for them. Our own Secretary of Health, Dr. Herrara-Scott, spoke at the seminar on the cost of health care. The cost of health care and the cost of prescriptions is an issue for every state in our country.
Amazon participated in the BWI Summer Youth Initiative last week. I was excited to meet the 50 students participating in the program. We toured the Amazon Air facility at the airport and the students learned about career opportunities with Amazon. It's heartening to see industry leaders investing in our youth's future through such initiatives.
University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center held its annual Crab Feast at Kurtz's Beach. We helped raise crucial funds supporting patients and families; together, we strengthen our community and ensure quality care for all.
