Extraordinary accountability. I want to compare and contrast what is happening with university of oklahoma and at the university of virginia with other context.

The universities did not close down the teams, they simply discipline the individuals. They do not discipline the womens track team because of what happened on the mens basketball team.

Ms. Nowak we think the very foundation in troops on states rights are read to have any intrudes on states rights are read to have any state plans subjected to federal authority is a concern of ours. State Energy Policy should be left up to states. In connection with the department of energy, not the Environmental Protection agency. We have concerns about losing state authority over existing laws. Mr. Easterly . Mr. Easterly do not believe epa can protect us from lawsuits under the clean air act. They can happen and they do.

Governor walker what a great crowd. Thank you. It is great to be back. Thank you. What an honor to be here. First off, i want to thank your great chair. We have been around the state the last two days, but before that, i got a chance to really sit down with Jennifer Horn and get to know her. And know her love for this party, and more importantly for the state and this country.
