- Due
to
continued
consolidation,
we’ve
seen
the
livestock
market
become
less
competitive
and
increasingly
troublesome
for
family
farmers.
I’ve
introduced
legislation
to
address
this
problem.

exploitation
is
the
most
widespread
form
of
elder

can
be
done
to
prevent
these
crimes.

put
their

Orozco,
of
the

Department.

success
in
Iowa
and
nationwide.

Phil
briefed
staff
on

on
Foster
Youth.
- We
need
to
keep
up
with
ever-changing

that
will
combat
transnational
drug
trafficking.
