We are losing a person a day to overdose deaths, three times as many as we lost in traffic accidents last year.
I believe that one of the best ways for us to support small business innovation is through reauthorizing and making permanent the SBIR and STTR programs.
small businesses really are the drivers of economic growth, especially when it comes to technological innovation.
I am concerned about the reductions in the budget for FEMA's State and local grant programs.
I was also very pleased to see the Department's continued efforts on countering violent extremism (CVE).
This budget, as I read it, cuts those State grants by about 57 percent, urban grants by 45 percent, transit grants by 15 percent, and port grants by 7 percent.
One of the things that for many of those small businesses that has been very helpful has been their ability to be more energy efficient.
