But the governor will be speaking for approximately 40 to 50 minutes. Oftentimes we get an advanced copy of the speech. We havent received that yet. He says hell be talking to the whole state. Often theyll be talking directly at lawmakers because theyre hoping especially during an Election Year theyll get along and make progress. But the governor says he really waats to speak to everyone in big job hes got, because he has to talk about not only the things he thinks went well in the last year, but also the things that we need. A lot of people think we need more money for roads, improve education, make college more affordable. Even the House Speaker says lawmakers need to fix tabor. Republicans have said all along dont tamper with the taxpayer bill of rights. Theyre going to come to loggerheads, head to head right out of the chute. The session f course goes 120 days. Its scheduled to adjourn may 11th. There are a lot of things on the table and opefully the governor can start making his c
The first and so far only debate in the senate race monday night. Live on cspan networks joining on the phone is joe gerth who covers politics for the journal. Thanks for being with us. Get a sense of where this race is three weeks out. Guest i think its safe to say that race is very close. The polling in recent months has been trending towards mcconnell asked month up by four points in the bluegrass poll along with two television stations in the newspaper here in kentucky. We recently showed a twopoint lead though these polls are in the margin of error and it wouldnt be a shock if either one of them comes out a couple Percentage Points ahead. Host Allison Grimes was asked whether she voted for barack obama in 2008 and 2012. First of all, why this question and what kind of news did she make . Guest the question was asked because mcconnell spent the past year playing her to do Barack Obamas policies. People dont like her personally, people dont like the policies and mcconnell has been t
All our states are hit by the slew of proposed epa rules aimed squarely at the fossil fuel industry and folks that work in that industry. I would like to highlight a letter from the governor of wyoming to the epa administrator on april 28th i ask that letter be entered into the record, madam chairman. In this letter the governor highlights a study by the center for Energy Economics and Public Policy at university of wyoming entitled impact of the coal economy on wyoming published february of this year. I would ask that this study be entered into the record. Without objection. Thank you. The governor states about the study that it determined the single largest threat to wyomings coal industry is epas clean power rule. In fact, the study says that 111 d climate regulation has potential to drastically reduce wyoming coal production. Coal output under favorable circumstances decreases by 32 of the 2012 production by the year 2025. Study goes on to say even the best case of impact modeling
Been given one year, thats a very real problem. But there are real costs being expended by the states and also i believe this administration is not interested whether the rule is finalized so long as the marketplace moves away from them. If coal fired power plants have to be retired quicker than baseline, then theyre going to accomplish the goal, even if this regulation never is upheld in courts. Thank you i want to follow up on this. Ill wait until the second round. Senator markey. Thank you madam chair. I ask that two articles by jed ee freedman and Richard Lazarus be included they provide thorough analysis of that clean power rule. So ordered. Pope frances is about to issue on Climate Change. They named the jesuit who taught chemistry as the pope. Pope frances believes science is the answer to our prayers, we have to look at modest ways to look at this to reduce the danger that growing Greenhouse Gases will impose to gods creation of the planet. I think it is important for us to fin
Goes to her doctor, who orders a lung ct scan and a new blood test developed through research supported by the Precision Medicine initiative to look for dna and other biomarkers circulating in her blood. The ct scan detects a tiny spot that could be inflammation from bronchitis or cancer not clear, but the biomarker test clinches the diagnosis, revealing a genetic mutation that occurs only in patients with cancer. In 2015, today her prognosis from this cancer would be pretty grim. But in 2018 that could all change. Lily is treated with surgery to remove the tumor and the tumor dna undergoes molecular analysis. Based on those results, lily is treated with a targeted drug that was originally developed for skin cancer but has the right properties for her tumor. She also receives a course of immunotherapy designed to kill any tumor cells that may be lurking in her body. With this treatment a decade later, lily remains cancer free. Thats a hypothetical but quite realistic of what the cancer
