Crime and Drugs 
   

Keeping our streets safe and our communities drug-free has never been more important. Every American has a right to live, work, and raise a family in a safe, crime-free neighborhood. And every child has the right to go to a safe, drug-free school.

I am committed to making our streets and schools as safe as possible, and have taken concrete actions to do so, including:

  • Leading the fight for an increase in COPS funding for local law enforcement agencies to put more police officers on our streets.
  • Fighting the emerging threats of methamphetamine labs and OxyContin abuse in our rural communities.
  • Funding a $1 million statewide DNA initiative to help our state's crime labs process their DNS backlog.
  • Helping expand the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, which gives local law enforcement more tools for combatting drugs.

Approaching Widening Bailouts with Caution

When Congress passed an unprecedented $700 billion bailout of the financial sector, I warned that it would pave the way for future bailouts, and sadly, that prediction has proven true as the Big Three American car manufacturers are asking for a $25 billion bailout.  No one wants these companies to fail, but it would be a grave mistake for the federal government to bailout these companies without fundamentally reforming their business models.
