All eyes are focused on trade and NAFTA, and Larry Smith brings us up-to-date. Steve Gordon talks and types about what he’s heard this week in Heard on the Hill. Jake Ostenso has this week’s Agency Watch. Dana Marston – back from salmon fishing in Alaska – looks at where student borrowers are struggling most, and breaks down a bipartisan bill to address the opioid crisis which the Senate hopes to pass after Labor Day.
This morning, we received the exceedingly sad news that Senator John McCain is suspending treatment for his brain cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Senator and his family.
The Senate is scheduled to adjourn and leave town for Labor Day. We will not publish next Friday, but we will be back in your inbox on September 7th. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
