Just a few days after the Utah Legislature passed what some called the largest tax break in Utah history (an estimated $249 million, including $88 million in one-time breaks), a former legislator launched a referendum effort hoping to repeal the tax overhaul. The effort, launched by former legislator Fred Cox, brought an eclectic group of collaborators together in hopes of securing the necessary 116,000 signatures by Jan. 21, 2020. If successful, the referendum would go on the general ballot in November, and it would be taxpayers who decide whether or not the cuts would go into effect.  In this episode of Voices of Reason, Amy Donaldson and guest co-host Jason Comstock talk with former Libertarian Senate candidate Craig Bowden, who is one of the coordinators of the effort, about how the effort will work and why he wanted to be a part of it.

SSgt Nance served in a unit during the war the German High Command dubbed the Ghost Army. His war experience was classified until 1996. The one time he shared it with his daughter she didn't believe him, and he never told his wife what he did during the war. SSgt Nance is another example ordinary men doing extraordinary things.

In this episode, Jason Comstock talks with Daniel and Angie Bucio about his service in the U.S. Navy Reserves. Dan immigrated to the United States from Mexico after his family learned that his grandfather was a U.S. citizen and had served in World War II. Like many Americans, Dan felt a desire to serve his adopted homeland after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He's served all over the world, but his first deployment came in 2014 when he was deployed to Northern Africa, with responsibilities that took him all over Northern Africa and the Middle East. Like most service members, deployment had a profound impact on Dan and his family. The Bucios are learning to embrace their "new normal" and haven't shied away from challenges - old and new - that they've faced.

In this episode, host Jason Comstock has a conversation with his children about how his military service impacted them. When Comstock was deployed (2004), David was 11, and Mason was 8 - and they had three sisters - who all had to deal with their father being sent to combat. They discuss why they felt angry and lost, where they found hope, and what advice they'd give to parents thinking of joining the military.  They discuss how they saw their father's return as something that would help them find normal again, but because Comstock suffered from PTSD, they experienced confusion, resentment, and isolation.   To learn more about Mason Comstock's band Rebel Rebel and hear some of their music:  https://rebelrebelslc.bandcamp.com/

In this episode Jason Comstock and Amy Donaldson talk to Retired Sergeant 1st Class Arlo Doyle about his military career, the impact of multiple deployments, and a long-running joke that nearly became reality. Just days before Arlo was scheduled to return home from his fourth deployment, an attack left him with a traumatic brain injury.

In this episode, Jason Comstock talks with Army Veteran Stan Taylor and his wife Anita about his service during the Vietnam War. Although Stan came from a family that served in the military he had no desire to serve but was drafted, and felt he needed to honor those who'd served by doing what was asked of him by his country. Stan discusses being drafted, adjusting to life in the Army, the realities of combat, the life-long pain of losing friends, and what it's like to come home after serving in an unpopular war.  For Stan, serving during the Vietnam, which he did with distinction, changed everything, including how he views his responsibilities as a citizen.

We’ve covered how tribalism is wreaking havoc in our lives, but tribes are also a source of strength. They’re how humans have organized themselves to survive for thousands of years. We explore the idea that maybe better, stronger tribes are what we really need to repair the social fabric. This story gets personal for Andrea as she grapples with feeling tribeless as a transplant in Salt Lake City. She talks with a spiritual leader from the Northern Utes, Lacee Harris , about being part of a Native tribe and what it does for him. And we hear from military vet Jason Comstock about war, unity and how he learned to create the tribe he needed with a group called Team Red, White & Blue.
