People on the wrist and send them right back out the door. I i cannot tell you how often i get these boys that i consider sons because i have watched them grow up. People say oh, they are are terrible they are not doing anything at all, and give them such a bad rap. That frustrates me because i watch them, they are busting their butts but what you expect them to do when they keep arresting the same people and sending them in front of these judges for the judges to turn him right back out on the street. The boy that sold my daughter the heroine that killed her just recently went back in front of a judge for his fourth offense for trafficking heroine. Fourth time he has been arrested for this. He was given five months. How is that possible . That is so frustrating. It frustrates me of course but i cannot even imagine what our lawenforcement deals with in that situation. These are things that have to be dealt with. Lastly, what do i know . I know that when you find your 21yearold on the f
Will not stand the rising tide of this Public Health crisis if only two out of ten patients get the treatment they need. It wouldnt work for diabetes, it would not work for hiv and it will not work for addiction. Like many other issues we face closing the gap will be complex effort required and multifaceted approach. The federal government needs to work with prevention as, healthcare providers, payers, treatment systems, Public Health officials, states, tramps, and many others to tackle the challenges ahead. As you heard it addressing these issues are key to this administration. We we are proud to support the strategy. The goal of the hhs initiative is to reduce opiate dependence and has three main aims. Changing prescribing behavior, increasing access, today i will focus on the role in each of these areas. With respect to prescribing behavior it is an obvious tactic to prevent misuse by reducing the number of pills and peoples medicine cabinet. To do that as we noted that physicians a
My career as a political scientist. And this has been amongst if not the most satisfying intellectually to work with john and work with all the authors who are all crs analysts and experts who in addition to their regular duties i want to emphasize that in addition to answering the requests that come in from members of congress and their staffs, in addition to that sat down and found the time oftentimes outside of regular work hours on the weekends and in the evenings to write these very insightful chapters. And i think its im very proud to be part of the institution of the Congressional Research service at the library of congress, also a terrific institution. And were very happy every day coming to work to help serve members of congress and with the goal of an informed national legislature. So as long as were we continue to be funded, as long as Congress Wants us to be there and help them, well keep showing up for work. And producing hopefully more documents like the one we produced f
Republicans, 202 5853881. Parties, 202 5853882. You can catch up with us on your favorite social media pages. If you chose your Political Party by a specific issue, a poll shows what party you may belong to. Most dominant issues for republican voters.

Has only 40 inspectors. West virginia has 56,000 active wells and as of 2011 just 20 inspectors. Pollution of Drinking Water whether from fracking or flawed construction of the well, or from surface waste from the site moving into aquifers has occurred 248 times between 2008 and 2014 in pennsylvania. We actually do not know how many incidents in total there have been because the state did not start collecting statistics on incidents until 2014. If we had more transparency, more accountable and more oversight, local communities would be able to make well wellinformed choices. However, building an oversight hearing around Public Relations campaigns to dismiss those concerns of local communities not only does a disservice to members of this committee, it also does nothing to increase the trust of the fracking industry in those communities. In closing, i would argue that it is not some hypocritical Smear Campaign by. The federal government, but rather repeated attacks against epa and campa
