Amendment needed to financial education policy
For several years, I lobbied state legislators to pass a bill requiring students to earn credit in personal finance to graduate. As you may know, this requirement finally came to fruition, and starting with the 2024 cohort, entering ninth graders will be required to take a personal finance class to graduate. The intention was that students would be more financially fit in life if they knew the basics of personal finance. When people are financially stable, they are less likely to end up in prisons or rehab programs. They are more likely to be contributing members of society. Sounds great, right?

Artist Spotlight: Black Locust
It’s a tree! It’s a bug! Well, yeah but it’s also a kick-ass band. I’m talking about Black Locust, an alternative grunge-ish band out of Frederick, MD. It seems like the DMV area is chock full of incredibly talented musicians and Black Locust is a four-man group consisting of exactly that. Meet Tyler James, Ben Brenner, Aidan Twentey, and Tyler Miller (who I sit down with tonight at the Let There Be Rock School Frederick, a perfect setting.) They’re a bunch of dudes pretty fresh out of high school who are making a name for themselves already. After forming the band about two and a half years ago in the wake of getting inspired during a Microwave show, they’ve already got one banger of an EP that’s been out for just short of a year now, their self-titled work, “Black Locust”. I’ve only just discovered these guys in April of this year and I’ve already got a solid twelve hours of play time on this EP. They f*cking rock, I’m serious.
