This problem. News4s Megan Mcgrath has been there all morning long and joins us with an update. Reporter barbara, they had an eightinch water main that broke on the corner here overnight. Thats been repaired, but they thought the water gushing from that broken pipe had eroded the ground beneath the road causing this enormous hole that you see here beside massachusetts avenue. Now, weve had a new Development Just within the last couple of minutes. If we pan over here, you can see the folks gathered at that manhole, just a little bit ago they pulled open the manhole cover, and when they looked down, they still saw flowing water, something they did not expect to see, because they actually fixed that eightinch pipe. So theyre still trying to identify potential sources for this hole. We also have involvement of some of the utility lines in the area, and we are now being told that this repair job could take as long as a week. 20 1 2.

Notices that went out to north carolina, arkansas, a lot of places, under the president posses guidance, these letters now will have to explain to people that receive them, you know, what their policy did and what is available on the exchange. Many people will find Better Options on the exchange. Assuming we can get those exchanges up and running and assuming we can get the websites working, many people will find a better option. We told people if they had these plans, they could keep it. This and willh answer your questions. I do not want to lose sight of the promise of the Affordable Care act. I will give to the press this letter i received from my office. I will not read the whole part of it. But this child, emily, is now 22 years old. Susan, wrote me this letter to say, i know you are struggling with the aca and i want to tell you this is worth fighting for.

We also know that she a a broken federal law by disclosing sensitive tax return information. We know she was heavily involved in the orchestration and disclosure of the information to the public about inappropriate tactics used by the irs. She wanted to avoid litigation that dean disclosure form because as she put it if it goes to litigation all details are public. I guess he needed. It seemed as though ms. Lerner wish to stay away from litigation to avoid having all details of the issues from the incoming public. These facts lead to one assume that this could be the same motive she used when withholding information from congress. We also know she relied on this committee on numerous accounts. We asked her whether the criteria for evaluating taxexempt applications had changed at any point. Ms. Lerner responded the criteria have not change but it had. In 2012 she told this committee that the information the irs was requesting in letters to conservative taxexempt applicants was not out o
Would be eager to make sure that none of this fugitive methane gets into the atmosphere. Or into the Drinking Water, i might repeat. So we know methane can and sometimes does leak from fracked wells. We should want the secretary to be able to regulate that. Because under the bill, under the underlying bill, the secretary could not, this amendment is necessary. I urge my colleagues to support it. I yield back the balance of my time. The chair the gentleman yields back. The gentleman from washington is recognized. Mr. Hastings i yield myself the balance of my time.

So ultimately, im the head of this team. We did fumble the ball on it, and what im going to do is make sure that we get it fixed. In terms of what happens on november 30th or december 1st, i think its fair to say that the improvement will be marked and noticeable. The website will work much better on november 30th, december 1st than it worked certainly on october 1st. Thats a pretty low bar.
