Over the past several years in the administration of attorney general eric sniderman. During this administration, we have had 22 cases that we brought criminal charges in, including two cases announced just this morning. And they are in a wide range of industries. Prevailing wage contractors, tortilla factory, home health agencies, its been a pretty broad range of different types of employers. And having been in this field for awhile, i feel strongly about the importance of criminal enforcement because i think that it sends a very, very strong message about the seriousness of these laws and the importance of compliance and it is a very powerful deterrent.

Long, and there are a lot of people who believe it will never change. He has given us his promised that it will change and it will be different because he is invested, and we will have to translate those words into action. A couple more calls. Lets hear from missouri. Hello. What i want to ask this representative about government is what is going to be done about the things regarding Michael Brown and mr. Garner . Something has to be done about those existing conditions it is obvious that we have gotten to the tilt point. This federal government must take over the policing that is happening at the state level, which is nothing but a continuation of jim crow laws. That someoneved did be so afraid of an unarmed that he was so t he has the right to murder people. Is it appropriate for a federal takeover . You made a point about Darren Wilson and whether the use of horse the use of force was excessive or not. The point that i find interesting is that he was 64, a badge, an entire police fo
