barrow, for one minute. mr. barrow: mr. speaker, i rise to recognize the lifelong public service of my fellow georgian, former congressman ed jingins. he was born in young harris, georgia. he was a veteran of the coast guard and graduate of young harris college, and the university of georgia law school. congressman jenkins represented north georgia in congress for 16 years serving on the budget committee and the ways and means committee. his service and his approach to service are a good example for all of us today. those who knew him and served with him remember him as a levelheaded workhorse and zealous advocate for the interests of his district, especially the textile and poultry industries, but more importantly he was willing to work in a bipartisan way to do what he thought was best for his constituents and his country. after congress served as a member and chairman of the board of regedgets. he passed away on new year's day but is survived by a wife of 51 years, two daughters, two grandchildren, and thousands of frien

like with the wind if you're not dressed properly, you really shouldn't be outside if you live in barrowbanks, minus 28. gym river alaska almost broke all-time record of minus 80 degrees but the battery died at the weather station there. jon: no, the battery froze i think. >> that's probably right. and just, quick look at our drought monitor, i know jenna was mentioning the drought across texas. even though we're dealing with extreme severe drought, this is a big improvement what we saw just a couple months ago across texas. back to you. jon: janice dean, thank you. >> you bet. jon: keep it here all day for the coverage of voting in florida. then at 6:00 p.m. eastern you tune into bret baier. fox news will tell us who is victorious in this winner-take-all primary. fox news is your election headquarters. jenna: well then there's this story. one woman is still on the loose after a driver takes california police on a wild chase. you can see the suspect flying through red lights, even driving on the other side of the road at a certain point. speeds up to 90 miles per hour. the 22-year-old ar

alerted that josh barrow was correct and i was incorrect that john mccain promised to move the u.s.second i'll tell you what i i didn't know when the week began but now a preview with alex witt what is coming up next. >> ulgy. accusations lying in florida between romney and gingrich as the primary is three days away now. will the gop fighting help president obama in the long run? >>> gambling on the future? some states in the u.s. are so desperate for revenue they are turning to casinos. a new report which is looking at how much money can be made and whether it makes the surrounding area richer or poorer. >>> and then office politics. i talk with former congressman harold ford jr. who makes a case for president obama's re-election and size up the gop field for us. pretty chat i had with him. >> thanks. what do we know now we didn't know last week? thanks for romney's tax returns we know in calendar 2010 he paid an effective tax rate of 13.9% and less than his own estimate of 15%. we know the reason he paid such a low rate was somewhat strangely because he wasn't laboring for it but

some of you may remember the whales were trapped in the ice off of point barrow.nd it's a wonderful story about how as alaskans we came together working with the russians, all agencies, environmental groups who would normally be in great opposition to -- to oil development folks all coming together for a common purpose, to do good things. and that movie, "big miracle," reminded me that in -- in alaska, we've got a few more big miracle as that we can brag about and it begins with people who -- who really make the health and safety and the well-being of others their top priority, even when they don't know any of these people. i know that the people of nome and kordova and -- and the people of valdez all, all give thanks to those who have stepped up during these tough winter months to -- to bail us out, shovel us out but to there be at our side. so i thank you for the extra time that you have given me. i thank my colleague from illinois for that. but, again, extend my heartfelt thanks to our united states coast guard men and women as well as the fine men and women of

very hard working, hard pressed taxpayers. 40%, 40 cents of every dollar the government spends is barrow. those are obligations that are going to accrue to generations who don't have a direct voice at this table, and these are the thoughts we bring to mind as we approach the issue of the sustainable growth rate and in the house of representative, we passed a two year bill that was compassionate and sensible and was also paid for which is a crucial issue. unemployment insurance, no question, is something that millions of americans sadly rely upon, but points out the fact we need an economy that grows, and we cannot have that growth unless we allow americans to utilize resources they create, to save and spend and invest in their own communities, so we need to represent here that respect for our citizens and our taxpayers that, and the payroll tax holiday is important to citizens, but those savings for the taxpayers have to come responsibly from other parts of the budget because they are not like other general revenues. they are already committed in the social security trust fund. it's a pr

if you put 90% of this panel in the same creek and the same barrow with progressive liberals that are poisoning our schools and communities, they will ruin it for the progressive liberal agenda. i encourage everybody who sees this type of corruption going on from to the state house to the white house to become bad apples and led to ruin it. they will indies' oil and next generation, and they have spoiled almost two generations of people that have become enslaved to a system that must be addressed by people sitting in this room today. [applause] >> it is interesting, i made a bid as a republican in a hard democrat district for congress a year or so ago and i lost overwhelmingly even though i knew i had the right message had a thought often about slavery and asked the question that why, after slavery in this country and, there were 4 million slaves, why did only 1 million leave the south? there is a complacency as well as the need for leadership. >> 30 seconds, i have a conference call at noon the i have to be a part of. you all heard the passion, and the analogy that he shared with you
