elsesh to be perfectly honest is the fact we see the car being pulled over we see at some point mr. davis out of the car running, for whatever reason. we're not in his mind we don't know why he ran, but for whatever reason he ran. subsequent to that he obviously engaged the police officer again, but it is going to be very, very difficult, i think, for me and many other people to make sense of the fact that from the very clear video that was taken by the video grapher, that there just is no reason or justification upon him running away from the officer on the second interaction we see there in the open field that he was shot in the back eight times. that's just very, very difficult to fathom regardless of what may have occurred before that. there's just got to be something very dramatic that led to that and there's just no clear indication as to why that would occur. >> john, what does the second tape from the prosecutor's point of view what kind of crime is this? this tape itself only helped to show this was a minor event, and also shows that the -- mr. collins hadn't done anything signif

mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to this bill that would add hundreds of billions of dollars to our deficit to deliver a windfall to the heirs of the wealthiest estates in the country. although the republican budget holds that we must make draconian cuts to domestic programs, in the name of physical can prudence, proms that help the middle class, infirmed, the republican leadership lauds a bill that would provide inequality in our nation and give an average tax break of $3 million to the most secure. . in my congressional district the median income is $48,481. the unemployment rate for african-americans is 24.5%. the poverty level for children is 38.3%, and the poverty rate for the elderly is 21.4%. and over 63,000 households receive food stamps. in the state of illinois over 13000 children are homeless. at the end of last year, chicago had the highest -- fifth highest foreclosure rate in the nation. this bill is fiscally irresponsible and reflects misplaced priorities for our nation. we

mr. davis: thank you mr. speaker. you know mr. speaker, i was just thinking of one of the reasons that i like spring so much and so well is that we get an opportunity to interact a bit more with young people with our children. and i've seen many around here this morning all over the place and i simply want to welcome them but also yesterday i got an opportunity to visit two schools. school for exceptional children in maywood, illinois, where we just had a wonderful team. then in the afternoon i did a book fair at the lovely elementary school with this principal, dr. haney, and the young people were saying they just love being at lovett and so it was a refreshing day. like many of my colleagues, i also use a lot of interns and fellows who come and learn and work and be engaged, involved and the statement i'm going to read today was developed by one of my interns, jackie martinez. jackie has been working on health issues, and she came up with this statement and so i come here today to speak of a health concern that many women are li

mr. bishop: davis-bacon is a simple concept and a fair one. it protects the government as well as the workers in carrying out the policy of paying decent wages on government contracts. the davis-bacon act requires that workers on federally funded construction projects be paid no less than the wages paid in the community for similar work. it requires that every contract for construction to which the federal government is is a party in excess of $,000 contain a provision defining the minimum wages paid to various wages of -- classes of laborers and mechanics. the house has taken numerous votes on this issue and on every vote this house has voted to maintain davis-bacon requirements because it makes good sense. it saves the taxpayers money. and it's useful. last year we brought -- it is my hope we stop attacking the working class and defeat the amendment before us today and move on to more important matters. i urge all members to vote no on this as we have repeatedly, year after year. at this point, i'd like to yield to the gentleman from michiga

mr. chairman thank you. this is really a companion to miss davis' recommendation. i'm going to offer this amendment. i'm going to withdraw it because it was double referred but i felt very strongly that we need to address this. this is the issue of for profit colleges preying particularly on those in the military. these schools charge five to six times more than comparable programs at community colleges. these for-profit schools often leave students entrenched in debt with no degree or with a degree in an unaccredited program that cannot get them a job after graduation. as miss davis pointed out, 40% of the gi bill dollars are now going to for-profit schools. over the past five years in california alone, more than $600 million has been spent in college assistance for veterans of the wars in iraq and afghanistan under the federal gi bill. interestingly enough, not any of these schools received state student financial aid called cal grants because they fail the accountability standards implemented by the state of california in 2012. now, the rule that the department of education came up with was that
