I am concerned how this is being portrayed, and I am sure it is meant to be a fix for a specific situation in South Carolina, but it is setting a precedent. That is what we do around here. We set precedents. It is hard to imagine that the…
So when the Department of Defense markup approached, New York Governor George Pataki wrote to Chairman Warner and Ranking Member Levin urging them not to include DOE's language in the bill. While the provision was changed before the…
