How to Fix Homelessness, Expand Telehealth, and Defeat Special Interests with Jared Meyer

Jared Meyer is the Executive Director of Cicero Action.  [Joe is the Chairman of the Board of Cicero Action.]  In this episode, Jared discusses how special interests stifle competition and why Cicero Action is using the special interests' playbook against them to promote innovative, bottom-up reforms.  He explains the government affairs strategy that creates real policy changes in states across the country, from expanding telehealth and improving parole and probation reforms, to realigning higher education incentives and fixing homelessness.  This conversation shows how transparency, accountability, and competition are possible when political leaders have the tools—and the courage—to stand up to cronyism and entrenched interests.
