And ive had to balance budgets. At the same time, giving the people the services they want. My time as the governor of rhode island, we had a tuition freeze for two years in our colleges, because i put the money in. You have to do both.

I want to have good services. That is what people deserve for their hard earned tax dollars. I want to keep the taxes down. I enjoyed the dynamic of doing both. Thank you.

New version of trumpcare by the end of the month. Its now june 19, and therk American People are still in the dark about this bill. There is no text. There is no legislative analysis of this bill, no scoring of what the financial ramifications are. The American People, and much of the senate, is in the dark. In the dark about how much costs are going to rise. In the dark about how many people are going to lose insurance. He in the dark about whether a aga preexisting condition will once again be used as a weapon against them by Insurance Companies. If the news reports are to be believed, and thats all you forgot right now, a vote on this massive proposal affecting the lives of virtually all our people is days of ways. No one outside of a group of 13 men, all republican, knows what is being considered. In my view this is as stark an example of legislative malpractice as i can remember. It is time for americans to get loud, do their part, and make sure that their voices are heard on an i

Ms. Cochran good morning, and thank you so much for being here today. I think the size of this crowd is a pretty good indication of the interest there is in finding ways for journalists and government officials to Work Together constructively to make sure that the public gets the information that we all need in a democracy.

Don ritchie and dick baker were great role models and give me a lot of help. Brian i have a lot of video clips from different events in history. I get to throw anything up i want and look to you to be experts on this. Lets start with Everett Dirksen who was a senator from illinois until 1969. Here he is talking about the differences between republicans and democrats. Could you tell me, what is the difference between a republican and a democrat .
