i mean, as much as you might think connecticut is unique because you're from connecticut, there is support for refugee resettlement everywhere. it just needs to be facilitated. i've never met anyone who, after hearing our refugees are vetted, global refugee crisis and of the refugee resettlement program works, does not support the program. i think the point we need to make is that the administration is out of step with the american people. and let's refer to it as the american refugee resettlement program. and emphasize that this is as much a part of this country as in tradition. oldest most noble tradition, and we can't allow and administration to destroy it. people need to step forward and make their feelings known. and the administration hopefully will listen. >> thank you. >> i i just wanted to jump in quickly on the point which i'm glad was raised about the current situation here, and remind you of this number i mentioned around the one-third of canadian population that is been evolved in some way and resettling refugees. those people are not all refugee advocates. most of them are no

there is a gubernatorial election in connecticut. imagine if the new governor of connecticut were to say, were to issue an executive order saying we do not want to participate in the refugee resettlement program. within hours there would be thousands of people from behind all of these dots gathering at the capital to protest. that should happen in every state where there is a governor who has doubts about the refugee resettlement program. how do we make that happen? education and engagement of the public. grassroots support for refugee resettlement i think is our best hope. >> please join me in thanking our panelists for an excellent panel. and now, christie will close this out with closing remarks.>> very brief remarks for those itching to get back to work. i want to close briefly by thanking senator. langford's office for helping us coordinate the event of our cosponsors , national immigration form, human rights first, and all. i would also like to thank you fantastic panelists, nadine, linda, scott, chris and jennifer, thank you f

but being governor of the state of connecticut was. and i grew up that that was the important person. and we win the minority, and my husband had died, and took me a little while to -- long time to get over it. and i decided -- and i was being asked. i mean, i had been asked to run for senate twice, and i turned it down. but i was being asked to run for governor, and i took the wrong road. and the best day i had running for governor was the day i announced, and i was running against a very popular incumbent who had a lot of support not only from his own party but from my party, of which i didn't know. i had totally submerged myself into congress, and i represented my constituents completely. but i didn't know the state and what their issues were. in fact, as i mentioned before i played golf quite a bit, and bill clinton, the president, asked me to go to martha's vineyard to visit him and we played golf and we had dinner, just six of us, at his house, and he said, i really had you up here to tell you not to run for governor, and he went

it's a constitutional job in connecticut. is there anything about the special election to the house that -- any memory in particular that stands out? yes. it was hard. it was -- you know, it's brand new talking about federal issues. and at that time our campaign was a lot about president reagan. she was a great fan of president reagan. and i wasn't and connecticut was in some economic difficulty. you ran against a woman, that was unusual for the time period. it was, but she was a good mayor, very capable i'd worked pretty hard so it was a fair campaign. how much did the issue of gender come up in the campaign? very little. very little. ella grasso was very much in the picture at that time we had women there and you find if you have women -- one woman makes it, more women make it,. was fund raising a barrier for your campaign? not at the beginning. i represented the whole time i was in congress. you name it they were there but of course we didn't spend anywhere near what we spend now. we didn't have to have that much money. we

there was a woman from connecticut. how can you put it -- when there is a democrat from kentucky. >> you had to actively campaign for a seat? can you describe that? >> you go see the members of the committee. you have to get your own group behind you. another problem in the state. was dominated by new york. he would seek his own people first. i had taken a couple of controversial positions my freshman year. if i can do is read of the material and do what you think is right. i was the all-in-one and england to vote for --. in the end, i gave a speech. that was nerve-racking. i held my ground. and i had done a lot of work on the subject. i knew a lot about it or it that help. the big thing was how can you go on trade? by two centers over free trade. at the for free trade. but, we're all free trade. as of the cover on my determination. for gettingents and china involves. that is the thing, people think trade agreements are about trade. they're not. that is a side effect of setting standards that recognize individual proper

equity funds based in connecticut.t a deduction not only on property taxes but a bigger tax break on their carried interest, profits they and for managing the fund. this is a big deal. specifically it is designed for these fund managers. as people are looking at doing lots of moved to florida or this or a low tax state, is one way to get the high earners within the boundaries of connecticut. david: i took tax law long time ago. simply put, where does the money come from? if they are not paying as much taxes, the state does not get as much money or the federal government does not get as much money. laura: they had designed a workaround where the business pays the taxes and the individual gets a credit. ultimately it will reduce revenue for the federal government. people will be able to deduct more. a lot tried to shrink the amount of the seduction -- this deduction. this is one of the ways they paid for it. we could see in five or six years after this plays out how the revenues are shaping out. is important to know the

this is a map of hi moment state of connecticut. anybody here from connecticut? there you go. so, every dot on this map is a dam. so there are literally -- 3,000 dams in the state of connecticut and like to know who another connecticut person is, i'm from connecticut. this is why i think people in connecticut are so uptight because their chi is blocked. too many dams the dams were used for grinding corn and wheat. grinding land food and what did they prevent and destroy in seafood, chad,ing her, sturgeon, salmon, fishes that were heavily omega 3 replaced by foods that are heavily omega 6 and we're seeing it throughout this larger landfood versus seafood competition in so many different venues. for example, this is dish took this picture while he was working i was working on a store but the mississippi. this is that giant pile there is fertilizer. nitrates and there's little people at the bottom. so, interestingly you know where i took this photo? walnut grove, minnesota, where little house on the prairie takes place. if pa could see that would would give you a whooping. so all

[applause] from the state of connecticut.ana: so i announced my candidacy not even out of the space of frustration, but i have something to add and there is a perspective here that is missing. i have literally, i asked myself the question who will speak for these children and the people who cannot speak for themselves. they did not vote for this, they didn't ask for this. that are in a situation where they have no voice and who will speak for them? i am going to run for congress. i announced 13 days before the connecticut convention. at the convention, i received the nomination which was unheart -- unheard of. you don't have a network and no one knows you. i had never run for office. i had no money. i was running against someone, he was not an incumbent, but had a 30-year career in connecticut politics. i received the nomination. don't get excited. because i received the nomination and after a series of vote switches, i lost it. it was taken away by three votes. >> that is voter suppression inside the party. jahana: i was on

a letter from the connecticut cpas of connecticut, a all of which point to the fact that this is double taxation on the residents of the state of connecticut. and why so, mr. chairman? almost 730,000 taxpayers deduct, take state and local taxes as a deduction. that's an average of 19,500 in the state of connecticut. that means even with your deduction, they're paying on average, 9,500 more. in west hartford, connecticut, $27,000. the average each connecticut county above the $10,000 gap is double taxation, it's policy at its worse. there will be a tax revolt when people learn more about this, as the cpas are just getting around to do. and it was a hope there would be an opportunity for a hearing, the opportunity to correct this, to have witnesses come before us and point out what will happen. there's no member on the other side of the aisle who i believe would actually say, no, i believe that some members, or that we should provide 5,500 households in america with a $7 billion tax cut. this is what's so disconcerting and upsetting to the citizens of the state of connecticut and i dare s

sometimes, living in the places we lived before we settled down in connecticut. i was sort of antsy like a what lot -- antsy, like a lot of women are after they have been out of the workforce. i enjoyed my run for council, which i lost. i realized how small my circles were. i think people don't realize how small their own circles are. of friends, neighbors, church people or whatever you are interested in. compared to the fabric of a community and the human challenge of governance. i really enjoyed that about running for council, meeting all kinds of people and seeing all kinds of structures and organizations that i was not aware of as a near citizen. so i really enjoyed that. i enjoyed serving. i walked into the court one day, just to check with the personnel if maybe the judge might be available and i could get his opinion. i would do that. i would go around to small businesses, walk in and say, what do you think about this? you get a very unvarnished view of government action under those circumstances. some things were going to be very helpful. some were going

and i like to know who the other connecticut person is. i'm from connecticut. the selected people in connecticut are so uptight. because they have too many dams but seriously, what were all of them for? they were used for grinding corn. and grinding wheat. grinding land food. and what did they prevent and destroy? seafood, herring, sturgeon, salmon. all the fish that ran up into the rivers that were heavily omega-3 were replaced by foods that were heavily omega six. we are seeing it throughout this larger seafood competition. resting is so many different venues. for example, this is, i took this picture while i was working on a story about in the mississippi. so this giant tile there is fertilizer. nitrate fertilizer. and the people at the bottom. interesting, i took this photo walnut grove minnesota. where little house on the perry takes place. if pa could see that! he would give you a weapon. all of this fertilizer which is washing down the mississippi, which causes algae bloom and dead zones. last year we had the largest dead zone in the history of people re

i announced 13 days before the connecticut convention.ceived the nomination which was unheart of. you don't have a network and no one knows you. i had never run for office. i had no money. someone who had a 30-year career in connecticut politics. i received the nomination. don't get excited. because i received the nomination and after a series of vote switches, i lost it. it was taken away by three votes. >> that's voter is you spesuppr inside the party. >> i was on a screen like this and the screen went black and the leader is tallying votes and then comes out and says that i no longer have the nomination. i'm two points behind. >> i want to clarify. the republican party did this? >> no, this was a democratic convention. i left thinking you know what, i still left with 49% of the votes. this is tremendous. i outperform and did more than i thought i would do. in the week that followed that, it did not sit well. this is the part that's important. a panel was convened with the state party to appeal the results of this convention. everyone s

this time, former connecticut congresswoman nancy johnson. first, american history tv is in prime time with a look at how espionage has changed u.s. conflicts over the last century and a half. we will hear the story of a union abolitionist who ran a spy ring out of richmond during the civil war. duane evans recounts time in southern afghanistan, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. american history tv is in prime time every night this week. >>> each week, american history's tvs american artifacts explores the history of the united states through artifacts. next, we talked to house historian matthew wasniewski and curator farar elliott about the history of african- americans in congress in the 19th century and to see a collection of artifacts. >> the story of how african- americans come to congress in the 19th century is not one a lot of people are familiar with. we actually have 22 african- americans served between 1870 and 1901. 20 in the house. it has to do with the role of congress during the civil war and in the decade after. during

the 5th district of connecticut will be back with proposals from new britain, connecticut which has dam work and dredging they are looking for help with permits. and we worked on continuing authorities' projects and eager to see more funding there and raising those limits so we can get more of those projects again. good relationship with the corps on the committee. but we could always do better. major general spellmon: we'll follow up in our district on both of these topics. ms. esty: i yield back. mr. graves: mr. mitchell. mr. mitchell: thank you chairman graves for the opportunity to testify in this hearing and thank you for coming today. i thank you for service to our nation and service in the corps of engineers. i appreciate the efforts of your staff before you came. they looked at the economic analysis to talk about the analysis. i have a fair amount of water around me in the great lakes, but important water. this hearing is an example of congress and the administration working together to meet infrastructure improvements. only two wayward members didn't understand the importance o

let's look at connecticut, for example. 1800 there was a survey done in connecticut, and article 26 of that stated the following. was the person born enslaved or born free different in terms of industry and morals? and the results came back and they ask scathing. timothy dwight, the president of yale, wrote that they could not make their freedom a blessing, that hey had no understanding of morals or industry and that the majority of whom would end up as in poverty or in vice. within a few years, connecticut had established a colonization society to rid itself of the black population which was 2% and disenfranchised before that blacks had -- were able to vote. after that they disenfranchised 2% of the population. why would you even care about this? well, this was a foreshadowed would would happen in america. if you can't integrate and assimilate 2're office the population what's going to happen later? let's look at massachusetts. during the civil war in 1862, there were refugees called -- but behind the union lines. the question was that would were what to do with them. general john dic

i mean, as much as you might think connecticut is unique because you are from connecticu connecticut, there is support for refugee resettlement everywhere. it just needs to be facilitated. i've never met anyone who, after hearing a refugees are vetted, local refugee crisis and how the refugee settlement program works, dustup supports broken. i think the point we need to make is that the administration is out of step with the american people. let's refer to it as the american refugee resettlement program and emphasize that this is as much a part of this country as any tradition. our oldest most noble tradition, and we can't allow and administration to destroy it. people need to step forward and make their feelings known. and the administration hopefully will listen. they will know. >> thank you. >> i just want to jump in quickly on the point which am glad was raised about the current situation here, and remind you of the numbers i mentioned around the one-third of canadian population that is been involved in some way in resettling refugees. those people are not all refugee advocates. m

joining us once again is senator richard blumenthal of connecticut. thank you. >> i wonder if you share the concern here as expressed by congressman schiff that this move to declassify all these documents and communications about this ongoing investigation is potentially quite dangerous. >> it is extraordinarily dangerous. this selective review of sensitive and classified documents puts at risk our sources and methods, which means it endangers the very core means of our gathering intelligence. it also demonstrates total contempt for law enforcement and rule of law. it verges on obstruction of justice itself because he is continuing the assault on the investigation of himself as president. and he is abusing and misusing his authority to declassify documents. he has that power, but there's no justification for his abuse and misuse of that power, putting in danger brave men and women of law enforcement and our intelligence community. >> senator richard blumenthal of connecticut, i really appreciate your time on both these stories. thanks for being with u

even though i don't represent northern connecticut in this congressional race, there is a truth that is compelling. 17 more trains from new haven to hartford and onto springfield. i worked with charlie baker, barack obama, stimulus money, to make sure enhanced real opportunities, more train transport every single day, so there is another example you have to look at. firstand access in the congressional district reaches 95% of the population. 2010, multiple individuals and myself used $45 million of stimulus money for the middle mile to make sure people had broadband access and internet. these are parts of economic development where everybody has a chance to participate, and you believe making it easier for transportation also creates additional economic activity, but i will say this with great candor, i have been around this district. people know me from worcester county to berkshire county, and we have tried hard to make sure everybody has been included. >> opportunity to respond. opponent heldw my his work on union station as important, and it is. anything that opens access to tran

the state of connecticut. and why so, mr. chairman? almost 730,000 taxpayers deduct, take state and local taxes as a deduction. that's an average of 19,500 in the state of connecticut, which means even with your deduction that they are paying on average 9500 more. two of my talents in my district, kind of like glastonbury, the deduction can be as high as $30,000 a west hartford connecticut $27,000. the average each connecticut county is about the 10,000 cap. it is double taxation. it is policy at its worst. there will be a tax revolt when people learn more about this as the cpas are now just getting around to do it in the hope that there still might get as mr. blumenauer has suggested the opportunity for hearing for an opportunity correctness, two of expert witnesses come before us and point out what will be happened. no member on the other side of the aisle who i believe would actually say they believe that some members that we should provide 5500 households in america with a $7 billion tax cut made through t

even though i don't represent northern connecticut in this congressional race, there's a truth that think is compelling as well. 17 more trains a day from new haven to hartford and onto springfield. i worked with charlie baker pickup work with barack obama on stimulus money to make sure that enhanced real opportunities, more train transport every single day, north of greenfield as well. so also there's another example that you to look at. broadband access in the first congressional district reaches 95% of the population. i worked -- july 2010, gary locke, myself, we use $45 million of stimulus money for the middle mile to make sure that people have broadband access and internet. these are parts of economic development where everybody you want to have a chance to participate. you hope and you believe making it easier for transportation modes also creates additional economic activity. but i will say this with great candor, i've been around this district. people know me with it some worchester county to berkshire county and we tried very hard to make sure everybody has been included in that

there are many sober homes in connecticut. for example, in forrenton, that good -- in torenton, that do good work. this provision is a step in the right direction. i'm very proud of a bill that i've led with senators grassley and brown to enhance transparency and opioid prescribing. this bill requires drug companies to allow prescribers to ensure that they are not no being inappropriately influenced by these manufacturers. it is already required for doctors. it ought to be required for everyone who may be involved in prescribing these powerful medicines. the bill will also fight back against deadly drug trafficking when it involves use of the postal system. just a few weeks ago in new haven, there was a mass overdose caused by trafficked synthetic drugs, more than 100 people overdosed on k-2, brought into this country from china and mexico through the mails. these new law enforcement tools are critically important, as is the reauthorization of the office of national drug control policy, and its high-intensity drug trafficking
