Congress Debates Drug Abuse Bill Amid Senate and House Action
The Senate continues to debate a bill addressing prescription painkiller and heroin abuse while the House recesses. The House passed HR 4557 to block a new Clean Air Act brick manufacturing rule, a 238 163 vote, arguing job losses and overreach. The Maya Angelou Memorial Post Office name passed 371 9 in the House, with some opposition over her views. In separate votes, the Senate rejected a 600 million emergency spend for addiction grants 48 47, and 46 50 rejected expanding S 524 to fund Medicare Part D addiction programs.
