Henry Waxman: “I know the preemption of State laws can sometimes be good for businesses, but it is not clear to me how preemption would…”

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.

Mr. Chairman, too much dirty politics is waged with dark money, the secrecy is protected by no privilege, and a little sunlight would be very healthy for American democracy.

No one should be secure while he violates the Constitution and the laws.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.
