ohio. >> mr. harris and mr. bogle if i could get your understanding of how you are monitoring the quality of water as a result of this incident. what concerns me is that we have more extreme weather events that are occurring in our communities. as you are doing your monitoring, what precautions are you taking for extreme weather events that are likely to occur? and the impact that could have not just on ohio or pennsylvania, but perhaps even on maryland as it relates to water quality, or even air quality? >> thank, you senator for that question. i will speak to the work orsanco has been doing to protect the ohio river supply. it really hinges on the great organics detection system. which is a number of scientific instruments, including six which are juicy mass backed. very significant instruments. we have been able to calibrate those for the various chemicals that we are able to detect. those continue to operate. in addition to being able to operate those for one-off sampling that we did, we track

in ohio, for example, it might give you pause if you were in ohio republican. and you had been working on legislation to attack queer people and trans people. while at the same time, repeatedly, these guys and the crowds that were turning out to bolster that message to make sure that the harassment and intimidation of queer trans people is not just of state law but also a nazi fear. you might think that would give you pause in ohio to realize who is aligning himself with your cause? it is not giving ohio republicans pause, apparently. just in the last few days they have been happy to hold new hearings on their proposed legislation to make the street knots he's very happy by further targeting trans people in ohio the cleveland scene newspaper covering these legislative hearings had to find the right sober language a few days ago to capture the testimony that ohio republicans just got in support of their bill. testimony in support of their anti-trans bill from a pastor who got up in the legislature and assured everyone that the, quote, demons of the underworld we

ohio sits at the crossroads of america. and thousands of trucks travel across my state to transport goods to my constituents. and businesses throughout the nation. an unworkable rule like this will stop some of these deliveries, cause delays for many others, and lead to shortages for some of our most basic staples. we should ensure the delivery of etension goods and protect the quality of life for all americans by passing the resolution before us today. i urge my colleagues to support s.j.res. 11. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized mr. pallone: mr. speaker, i rise in strong opposition to this republican joint resolution of disapproval to repeal the environmental protection agency's heavy duty vehicle nitrogen oxide rule. this resolution is another extremist republican attack on commonsense steps e.p.a.

ohio is in the midwest. he has to leave eventually, but that's where the genesis of his writing takes place. and i wanted to hear a little bit about what is it about dayton, ohio, in the 1890? yeah. and so, you know, i do talk about this in the book where dayton, ohio was a key stop for the underground railroad, you know, particularly the region, ohio, where african-americans were fleeing slavery on their to the north. it was especially prominent as african-americans were making their way to places as far as canada. and then they came back to the united states enlist in the army, in their view, to fight for freedom during the civil war and ohio itself turned out to be an important gestation for african-american community. and it simultaneously became key site for industrial design. and so there was great cultural and economic activity in this region where african-american saw opportunity for themselves. it turned out to be as well hub for the formation of a newspaper circuit. and dunbar had access to not onl

arson at the ohio church. it's all for the sane reason, te harass and intimidate trans team and queer people. the guys in the red suits and squats cuflag, that was outside a drag brunch being held outside a local columbus business, a drag brunch to by a non-profit center. also the church arson just outside cleveland that was targeting a church with a family friendly drag event. see it's all in one idea because the nazis in america aren't nazis in america these day. they have their cause. and they're doing this stuff in part for the same reason they're doing it in florida all the time now and other states. first it's try to intimidate and freak people out but also to try to desensitive us to swastikas and nazi imagery of all kinds and the presence of nazis on our screen corners and in our public protests, so we expect it, i guess, so we're not so shocked about it as much as we might otherwise be. if you are not down with that though, if you are not excited by the little nazis blooming like stink weed everywhere

in ohio for example. it might give you pause if you were an ohio republican and you've been working on legislation to attack queer and trans people. while at the same time repeatedly, these guys are the crowds turning out to bolster that message and make sure harassment and intimidation of queer and trans people has imprim tur of state law and nazi flair. it's who is allying with your cause. it's not giving the republicans pause. they've been happy to hold hearings on the new legislation to make the street nazis happy to further target people. to find the sober language for testimony in support of their bill. the testimony in support of their antitrans bill who assured everybody that demons of the underworld were possessing the bodies of those opposed to the bill. a democratic legislator from columbus socially sought to clarify the demonic possession testimony the republicans got for their bill. he did mean any state legislator, who is jewish, muslim, hindu, anything else, is according to him, an expert,

miller of ohio. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 429, the gentleman from ohio, mr. miller, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from ohio. mr. miller: thank you, mr. chair. the halt fentanyl act is one of the most important pieces of legislation this body could possibly address. we all understand something must be done to stop this deadly drug from killing more of our loved ones. i do not believe that our communities that are being ravaged by fentanyl can wait long while this important legislation is implemented. that is why i am offering this simple amendment to speed up the process of rulemaking by the attorney general. my amendment will cut the timeline for interim final rulemaking by the attorney general in half. i repeat, in half. law enforcement needs these tools to keep our communities safe, and my amendment seeks to save lives across our country by requiring the attorney general to expedite the rulemaking process while allowing enough time for sound policymaking. fentanyl is killing far too many people year

as a wrote that book and eroded a lot about ohio where i am from, sort of a study of the problem. i talked to another statement i started to get e-mails and calls theo country with groups and people individuals and i also learned a lot from those meetings about their stories for they were doing and so i took as many examples i could of people doing really great things. and people adopting a steakhouse really helping days normally get attention to me toa difference michigan in pennsylvania this last year further people figuring out how to use a nonprofit to really engage the voters who have been disenfranchised for people willing to a stand up and go to that school board meeting say we do not want you to member care so people with that frankly is the last book, not only inspiring but actually are showing that activism is aha lol level can work and actually has to work we are going to turn things around and so a lot of this is informed by the stories and i use the stories to make it accessible to the reader say whato we don't have to wait foa u.s. senator to save the day some famous

i see the republicans in ohio right now and the governor of ohio is bragging every day that ohio has the lowest unemployment numbers ever, the lowest unemployment percentage. that has happened all over the country because when you invest in infrastructure and middle class-based economy guess what the economy works well. i don't think that's just because of the governor's work. because of national policy is playing out over the country. the gentleman from texas i guarantee you if you look at every single governor right now in the country all of them are bragging about how low their unemployment rate is. is that because each governor is doing an amazing job or is it national policies that were? i submitted to national policies to national polys to national policies -- policies are generally working. i think joe biden the record is quite strong in their other things we can work on and i do agree we remain too divided and my hope is as we go forward it may be tough by the way during the primary cycle. obviously we have a lot of work to do. on the facts again republican or democratic or j

i'm not sure what the taxpayers of ohio invested in his visit to washington. but the fact that he could not stay for 90 minutes with us to come on the civil topic on which i am sure he was here in washington is very, very disappointing, particularly since he has appeared on panels about they -- stole -- legally. either number of questions for him, not the least of which is the disparity between black and white voters in terms of turnout in ohio being 35% is the problem that seems to me, he ought to be working on the most. if he really, truly believes what he said in his testimony, relative to thomas jefferson's quote about consent of the governed. i think he should have taken a little more care in planning his schedule so he can be with us. i would hate to think that his leaving early was an effort to avoid any questions about what is happening in ohio. so, i want that in the record. i'm extremely disappointed. and i feel like it was an effort to evade questioning by this panel. but i do want to thank the witnesses who managed to stay with us for this period o

florida, ohio, louisiana. of those states that set the standards even higher and higher and continue to review their own processes to identify ways we can make elections better and better as we say easy to vote, hard to cheat. members of the subcommittee may have additional questions for the witnesses and we ask that you please respond to those in writing without objection each member will have five legislative days to insert additional material into the record or to revise or extend the remarks. if there is no further business i think the members for their participation and without objection the committee stands adjourned. >> [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] democrat matvarie foushee is the new

he can see kentucky on the other of the ohio river and the ohio river is quite important to. me in this in this book. so i think seeing so many different of americans and african americans are present, there's an african-american and i was quite struck in the talk we just heard by the african traveling with breckinridge because there is one with lincoln a young friend named william about whom we know very little but they appear to genuinely have been friends. and there are interesting in the presidency where lincoln intervenes to help johnson he gets him a job. then johnson he asked johnson to go to get with him on a journey that fascinatingly mirrors the train journey into washington and i've just been reading i brought with me martin johnson's wonderful book writing the gettysburg address. and there's an incredible chapter, the train trip to gettysburg. and it feels a lot like all the things i was i was writing about. so he's traveling in a mixed race delegation and his wife and children are with him, but he's just meeting families everywhere, families with divided loyaltie

the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from ohio, ms. kaptur, for five minutes. ms. kaptur: i ask unanimous consent to address the house. revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. kaptur: mr. speaker, i rise today to call attention to an executive branch decision that will have significant negative impact on the u.s. domestic solar industry, including in northwest, ohio, the home of the largest domestic solar production platform on this continent. last week, the u.s. treasury issued initial guidance allowing solar project developers to qualify for a 10% domestic content bonus, even if the solar panels they use are made with foreign silicon waivers 97% of which are produced in, guess where? china. the new interpretation of the domestic content bonus established as part of the inflation reduction act squanders a rare and critical opportunity to spur the renaissance of an end-to-end domestic solar manufacturing supply chain. it also ultimately rewards those who cut corners, offshore u.s. jobs, and buy ch

host: teresa is calling from columbus, ohio. you say that biden has your support. caller: absolutely. the man has been in congress a long time, he's been able to reach across the aisle and get things done. we have seen things down the last couple of years that he's been president and he has led our country for the world and ukraine, we needed to have that done. the only thing i would ask more for his may get ohio on the map with the few democrats running cities, because we are such a republican run state and it is very disheartening. thank you. host: our question this morning is about a potential biden and trump rematch, they are leading in the polls. we want to know who you would vote for. let us look at some video, this is former president trump from a campaign event in new hampshire on thursday night. he taps the fact he is leading in the polls and explains why he thinks perspective voters are supporting him. [video clip] >> these polls are amazing, today's important and big emerson poll came out. trumpet 62%, dissent is at 60%, mike pence at 7%. obviously, peop

in northern ohio, rail is the spine of our economy. to stay competitive in today's economy and avoid expensive supply chain delay, trillion and agricultural america must think big about modernizing rail solutions. our nation must prioritize rail safety, give people more transportation options, and expand access to national and international markets. in the past year, three significant train derailments by norfolk southern have taken place in ohio. last october, 2022, a 21-car derailment occurred in my district at sandusky where norfolk southern has dragged its feet for over half a year in cleaning up the mess. that job is still not finished. this rail corridor, again, drew national attention with the major derailment earlier this year in east palestine, ohio. the imperative topic of rail safety has been clear and sometimes deadly impacts on students across our nation. a recent pro publica news article highlights the risks for students in hammond, indiana. children are forced to crawl under or over very long parked trains that block the

it's about whether or not you truly want to the people of ohio to have power. >> what are voters in ohioing about this? >> it depends on which side they are on. the number of supporters tend to be aligned with conservative groups, antiabortion organizations, gun rights groups. they say that it should be difficult to amend the constitution. democrats are saying this is about these big money special interests because it's actually republicans that have been using that big money out of state special interest money from a republican billionaire from illinois to push forward this vote and they say this really takes away voters voice. 60% means that 40% of voters can actually dictate what's going to happen for the rest of the state. they are very concerned about how this takes away essentially the voice of each person for each vote. >> are you expecting any legal challenges in ohio? >> there is always the possibility of a legal challenge. last month a law took effect that eliminated most august special elections. the argument is there had to be a lot to create a new august special election for

benjamin harrison grew up right on the border between ohio and indiana. he actually studied at miami university in oxford, ohio, and studied law in cincinnati. as he was finishing his law studies, he and his bride to be, caroline harrison, were trying to decide where they wanted to make their lives. and so they considered staying in cincinnati. they thought about indianapolis. they thought about chicago and decided the prospects for best in indianapolis. caroline harrison, his wife, as she joined him. and they had two young children, had really just started to find some measure of success at the outbreak of the civil war. and so for harrison, he had a really difficult decision to make as rising lawyer and a supreme court reporter, whether he would hire a substitute or whether he just would wait and see what happened. but he was called in to governor morton, the oliver morton, the famous indiana war governor office, and was talking about lincoln's call for 300,000 new troops and harrison heard this full story from governor morton and thought about it and s

correspondent: are you expecting any legal challenges in ohio?the possibility of a legal challenge. last month there was a law that took effect that eliminated most august special elections, so the argument is there had to be allowed to create a new august special election for this to be voted on, and that is not exactly what happened. i imagine there probably will be litigation. correspondent: gabrielle, you mentioned previously voters the rate ballot initiative legalized recreational marijuana, they expanded medicaid coverage. as you'll reporting show a majority of voters who may be opposed to this initiative? >> i can definitely say that it seems that voters are concerned about it. went recreational marijuana passed last year, that garnered 53% of the vote, more than one million missourians who voted for that. these three things you mentioned whether we are talking about recreational marijuana, the expansion of medicaid, medical marijuana, all of these things were passed by belly initiatives -- ballot initiatives in the recent couple of years,
