I mean my experience, frankly, is that physicians are all too ready to prescribe opioids, and look at you kind of funny as a patient if you object.
Gerry Connolly
The Public Record
Gerry Edward Connolly is a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Virginia's 11th congressional district since 2009. A member of the Democratic Party, Connolly has focused on various issues including government accountability, environmental protection, and healthcare reform. He has served on several committees, including the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, where he has been involved in investigations and legislation related to federal oversight and transparency.
I think the walls are collapsing on Mr. Trump, and I think he's helping the process, ironically, with comments like he made today. So I think there's almost an inexorable move toward impeachment.
And, obviously, many of us pretty strongly disagree with your interpretation. In fact, we argue it's unique, misguided, and certainly misinterprets the law.
As a manager, Chairman Kiko has earned a failing grade from the employees of the Authority itself.
The Trump administration has made no attempt to disguise its hostility toward collective bargaining, unions, and Federal service labor laws.
Persistent vacancies in the top position in the FLRA's Office of General Counsel have also allowed a backlog of more than 200 documented violations of Federal labor law to go unaddressed or unresolved.
This single act reveals, I think, a personal and disqualifying anti-union bias.
Much like the President who appointed this Chairman, the FLRA Chairman has exhibited unprecedented anti-union bias.
A Federal judge struck down key provisions of those executive orders, finding that they were, quote, 'an improper exercise of the President's statutory authority.'
The statutory protection of the right of employees to organize, bargain collectively, and participant through labor organizations of their own choosing in decisions which affect them safeguards the public interests.
These figures should alarm each and everyone but, more importantly, should focus the efforts of the state of New York, the city of New York, community-based organizations on where the emphasis in a get-out-the-count effort ought to be.
The prospect of an undercount could affect the political dynamics of the United States throughout the next decade.
Non-Hispanic white communities are very likely to be over counted, meaning wealthier white communities receive more than their fair share of resources and representation.
The undercount--for example, in 2010 the black population had the highest net undercount and omission rate of any major race in the United States.
They exploit veterans all the time. I could give you, in my own experience, a gazillion examples.
The issue isn't who put their lives on the line. The issue is the infusion of money that is contributing to the problem.
The ubiquity of this technology strikes me. Maybe we have already kind of mostly lost this battle.
I believe the cuts announced by the Department of State in March are short-sighted and counterproductive.
I have seen firsthand in my trips to the region that our programs have been effective in reducing violence and poverty in Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
I am a strong supporter of continuing U.S. assistance to the Northern Triangle.
