The Public Record
Frank Joseph Pallone is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New Jersey's 6th congressional district since 1993. A member of the Democratic Party, Pallone has been a prominent advocate for health care reform, environmental protection, and consumer rights. He has played a key role in shaping legislation related to public health and climate change, often speaking out against policies he views as detrimental to these areas.
This committee has a responsibility to conduct vigorous oversight of the Federal Government, and today would have been a perfect day to have HHS Secretary Azar and Scott Lloyd, the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement to be here.
These investments will make Americans more competitive, safer, healthier, and connected.
Many states have also created websites that post the prices of common procedures, and allow consumers to browse the prices at various providers.
This differs from most other markets, where the consumer has a clear understanding of how much a product or service will cost.
Actual investments are needed, and we must see states and local governments as partners, not adversaries.
Committee Democrats recognize the need for real investment and to develop legislative proposals to build the modern, resilient infrastructure that Americans need and deserve.
So, I think we need to invest in broadband infrastructure, particularly in rural and urban communities that have been left behind.
It is time to act. Democrats have bold proposals that will actually drive broadband deployment in all 50 states.
Unfortunately, the administration and my Republican colleagues have placed infrastructure legislation on the back burner behind its tax scam.
I urge my colleagues to bring this bill to the House floor as soon as possible.
