It’s too bad Sen. Forrest Knox, R-Altoona, lets his pet peeves get in the way of his good intentions.

In Senate Bill 410, Knox has created a pilot program for foster care families called CARE Families. 

In this special category, the parents must be in “stable” marriages of at least seven years; cannot have alcohol or tobacco products in the house, (firearms OK); must have high school degrees, must engage in a weekly community activity, and must have one stay-at-home spouse in order to serve as foster parents.
