It's
been
a
little
more
than
60
days
in
to
the
new
Congress,
and
my
new
position
as
your
Senator,
and
I'd
like
to
offer
an
update
on
some
of
the
work
I
am
doing
on
behalf
of
Hoosiers.
We
started
the
process
to
repeal
Obamacare
and
have
begun
meaningful
regulatory
reform
that
will
put
Hoosier
small
businesses
in
a
position
to
succeed. We’ve
rolled
back
several
burdensome
regulations,
including
“The
Stream
Rule”
which
would
have
crippled
Indiana’s
coal
industry,
and,
we
are
beginning
the
process
of
confirming
a
faithful
Constitutionalist
to
the
United
States
Supreme
Court
–
an
issue
that
I
know
was
a
top
priority
for
many
of
you.
Keep

for
more
on
my
role
in
these
actions
as
well
as
a
few
other
issues
you
may
care
about:
On
the
Job
Mainstream,
Faithful
Constitutionalist
I
met
with
Neil
Gorsuch,
President
Trump’s
Supreme
Court
nominee,
for
nearly
an
hour
in
my
office.
I
expected
him
to
be
impressive,
and
he
was,
but
I
appreciated
that
he
mentioned
Hoosiers
specifically
in
our
conversation.
He
understands
that,
for
Hoosiers,
all
of
the
rights
that
allow
us
to
pursue
the
American
dream
are
at
stake.
The
Senate
will
begin
hearing
on
Mr.
Gorsuch's
confirmation
next
week;

candid
take

meeting,

Rolling
Back
Regulations
that
Would
Have
Eliminated
Indiana
Coal
Jobs
"I
voted
to
overturn
a
job-killing
coal
regulation
before
it
could
do
serious
damage
to
Indiana’s
economy.
When
it
was
introduced
in
the
waning
days
of
the
Obama
Administration,
they
called
it
“The
Stream
Rule”,
but
at
home
in
Indiana,
we
knew
it
for
exactly
what
it
is,
“the
coal
rule”.
It
would
have
effectively
locked-up
half
of
the
nation’s
coal
supply
below
ground,
and
thus
destroyed
as
many
as
a
third
of
America’s
coal
mining
jobs.
It’s
time
to
end
the
era
of
federal
overreach
and
allow
Hoosiers
to
pursue
their
livelihoods
without
fear
that
a
rule
passed
by
unelected
bureaucrats
will
harm
our
industries." To

Workers
at
Crane
keep
America
safe
"Securely
tucked
away
amidst
Indiana’s
rolling
hills
and
farmland,
CAAA
is
the
country’s
second
largest
Army
munitions
depot
situated
on
the
world’s
third
largest
Navy
base
—
Naval
Support
Activity
Crane.
Here,
more
than
a
quarter
of
the
entire
U.S.
military’s
munitions
inventory
is
stored,
maintained,
renovated,
shipped
and
handled
with
care
by
Army
civilian
personnel.
Although
only
two
of
the
hundreds
of
patriots
serving
at
CAAA
wear
a
military
uniform,
the
men
and
women
of
Crane’s
Army
workforce
perform
an
essential
mission
—
getting
our
troops
the
tools
they
need
to
defeat
our
enemies
and
come
home
safely.
They
help
maintain
the
readiness
of
our
armed
forces
around
the
world.
Sen.
Donnelly
and
I
worked
together
to
ensure
that
Crane can
hire
the

it
needs
to
fulfill
its
important
mission..." read

Cornyn,

among
the
