WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON -
With a historic vote looming this weekend, U.S.... Rep. Brian
Baird said Friday
he can't support the Democratic health care reform bill. Rep.Adam Smith, said he hasn't made up
his mind.
Baird said he isn't prepared to vote for a bill until the Congressional Budget
Office estimates its impact on health insurance premiums. He also wants to wait
until Medicare and Medicaid actuaries estimate the impact on those programs for
seniors and the poor.
"I can't in good conscience vote for this without those estimates,"
Baird said.
Smith said he is weighing whether the need to overhaul a "big, bloated,
wasteful system" and provide insurance to millions currently without it
outweighs the bill's $1 trillion price tag and failure to aggressively rein in
rising medical costs.Read More

DICK MURI'S STATEMENT ON CIT GROUP FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY
Taxpayers Lose $2.3 BillionCandidate for Congress (WA-9), Dick Muri learned of the CI...T Group bankruptcy yesterday when it was reported. CIT Group was given $2.3 billion in tax payer dollars in December of 2008."Tax payer dollars should not be used to prop up private companies" Dick Muri said, "this is what happens when congressmen like Adam Smith feel they need to do something but don't know what. They simply throw money, that we don't have, at the problem. All they did was delay the inevitable. The company still declared bankruptcy, but now our children and grandchildren have to pay the bill. This gross mismanagement of the peoples' money must stop."###

For those of you who don't know, Dick just got his e-verify legislation passed in the county council on the 6th. I took a moment and posted a blog and video about it this evening on his website. You can also look over at the Newsroom on the website to see the official campaign statement. These common sense reforms are ...the type of legislation Dick will work for in DC. Pass this link on to your friends so they can also learn what Dick will do (and actually does as a Councilmember) for them when they elect him as their next Congressman! ~ Josh Amato http://dickmuri.com/?p=blog&id=15Read More
