joining me now is the governor of vermont.s a problem in the northeast, including in your state. why is this a problem for vermont in particular? >> well, you know, i don't think it is, to be honest. i think it's a problem in all 50 states. we are willing to talk about it in vermont because we're one of the safest places in the country where we cherish our quality of life. the other 49 states are facing it, too. listen, here's the bottom line. when we in america approved through the fda oxycontin and other painkillers and we passed these opiates out with a rational exuberance, we should not be surprised. it's a huge challenge that faces all of us and we've got to stop dealing with it as it is the disease that it is as opposed to a law enforcement challenge alone. >> people would not necessarily expect that vermont falls along several trafficking routes for heroin. how does this contribute to the problem in your state and neighboring states. >> it boils down to price. 80 to 90% of the folks addicted to heroin in america started

deb richter is one of vermont's leading addiction specialists. she said the current heroin invasion could be traced back to the abruce of cheap, powerful painkillers that were too easy to get. >> i think it is a particular problem in rural states. perhaps boredom. not sure. i was in primary care and i remember seeing it. i lived here in 1999. in the early 2000, 2001 >> i started seeing a bunch of 20-year-olds come in with habits of oxycontin. to me, that was sort of the turning point of how things happened. it started out with pills. >> pills that were crushable and easy to snort. dr. richter believes pharmaceutical companies could have done more to present this epidemic. >> how did heroin become the problem here? what did it did stem from? >> see essentially when the company chose not to put a coating. it made it different to snort. most started snorting it. >> with percocet and other powerful painkillers going for $80 a pill, heroin became the cheaper alternative. heroin dealers saw a major market in towns like rutland and major profit. >> what

and it's not just toledo and not just vermont. it is lakes all over the country that are being overrun by algae because of phosphorus run over. and what we have is a situation in states and in washington where the republican party basically says freedom is about allowing polluters to destroy our air, our land and in this case our water. and i think that is pretty crazy. common sense suggests we have to do everything that we can to protect clean drinking water in this country. climate change and global warming is making a bad situation even worse. on top of all that, many of us recognize that we need plas sif i massive investments in infrastructure. many think it's roads and bridges and rail. yes, it is, but it is also water plants and waste water systems. the truth is that for a small system or a town or state government, building the kind of quality waste water plants that we need so that runoff getting into the water is clean is an expense suffer prive propositio view, the government has to be very aggressive in washington in ma

and we conducted a survey in vermont involving all vermonters with third party charges on their cell phone bills on the part of two large carriers over a two month period in the somewhere of 2012. we retained the university of vermont center for rural studies to conduct this survey, and what that survey turned up was that approximately 60% of those vermonters with third party charges from those carriers on their cell phone bills during those two months, they had been crammed. they didn't know the charges were there, they weren't availing themselves of those charges. and perhaps more compelling is the fact that 80% of those surveyed were not be aware that charges on their cell phone bill were not exclusively for services provided by their own carrier. so and other ags have found similar results as they've looked at this issue in their states. now, as you and the ranking member have pointed out, there has been some progress in that the four big carriers last november essentially got out of the psms business and, consequently, complaints to us have sort of fallen off a cliff. but we're

vermont used to be known as rock rimmed republican vermont.now it's represented by a far left democrat in the senate and a socialist. we have got to get away from new york. come to vermont. i know what the state needs, more liberalism. every single poll on the subject shows recent immigrants of every ethnicity overwhelmingly support the government. hispanic support obamacare by 75%. that's compared to the population at large which according to an ap poll shows that only 26% of americans overall support obamacare. hispanics, 75%. this is a problem of immigration, not ethnicity ethnicity. the republican party's response has been to think if only we bring in more immigrants. maybe hispanics will hate us less. now, they will still vote democrat. they may not hate you. they won't vote with an angry glint in their eyes but voting machines don't register immigrants. they only register votes and it doesn't seem to ever occur to republicans that if they can't vote they can't vote against you. more importantly hispanic members don't care about amnesty.

thomas young himself goes off to vermont.t along the way thomas young comes up with a name for the state of vermont. said he is an interesting character. part of the reason you have not heard of him is he was an infidel, houseboat been infidel. with that aspect of his personality he pretty much spoke his mind and he was quite radical. he left the very interesting trail of writing that he tells his favorite authors and the main philosophical preoccupations. so what you can deduce is he shares ideas and is reasonably well read. even more so than ethan allen is something closer to what we should call up and deist. justin formal terms that are not useful as all the deist believes there is a deity who creates the universe then walks away and says your on your own. then there is a step farther the thing with you call the universe and god are the same thing. on top of which to articulate a number of interesting positions that we would now categorized and philosophy of the ethics. and also crucially with political syria. this is inte

secondly, in vermont we do have some heavy equipment. it's under control of the state police. it's not like every local police department has a humvee or some of this heavy equipment. so the real issue here for me will be taking a hard look at what equipment is going out, if it goes to an agency, should that agency have to be trained both tactically and with leadership about how and when to use certain equipment. because what you saw in my view in ferguson was a tactical overresponse in the use of equipment that made a volatile situation much worse. >> congressman peter welsh, thank you so much for your time. >>> and up next, you've heard from the congressman just what will happen when he and the rest of his colleagues get back to washington. we will put that to dana milbank. and coming together in ferguson through football.
