On July 9, 2015, Colorado U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner joined Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) to introduce the Marijuana Businesses Access to Banking Act of 2015, a bill to ensure that legal marijuana businesses can access banking services. The operative word here is "legal".
A section of the Senate Bill 1732 (introduced by Senator John Thune on Friday), the Vehicle Safety Bill, which is to be rolled into the transportation bill, will allow rental companies to rent recalled vehicles to consumers. Now, I don't know about you, but if it's unsafe for consumers to own, wouldn't it be unsafe for consumers to drive?
Senator Sherrod Brown (D - OH) cosponsored legislation to protect Ohio communities by taking unsafe oil trains off the tracks and giving first responders in local communities the resources they need should accidents occur. The Hazardous Materials Rail Transportation Safety Improvement Act of 2015 would build on the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) new regulations – finalized in May – to tighten safety standards on new and existing railcars, and update handling methods of hazardous and other materials throughout Ohio.
Last June, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled that the D.C. NFL team name violates a provision of patent law banning “disparaging” registrations. Affirming that decision on July 8, 2015, Judge Lee ruled the standard for proving “disparagement” was met and cancelation of the team’s trademark was not a violation of the First Amendment.
Why did Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Katherine Archuleta resign after two recent data breaches that affected close to 25 million individuals. It doesn't make sense, unless she had something to do with it that we are not hearing about on the news.
