Mike Coffman: “H.R. 2180 represents a common-sense solution to a problem that I do not think anyone anticipated.”

It has been an honor these first 2 years to represent the veterans--all the veterans in the district.

The fact is, GEO is not cooperative, and so we have an incident here. There could be other incidents down the road.

I think the notion that we're still at the point where neither DoD or VA has taken the lead--and I think that one of them has to have ownership for it.

It’s in our interest to protect the public health of our community to be able to merely make a statement that requests or demands that (The GEO Group) comply on behalf of our residents.
