Lawmakers to receive Congressional Leadership Awards on Feb. 6th at CADCA's 23rd Annual National Leadership Forum WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In recognition of their unwavering commitment to keeping America's youth drug and alcohol free, Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and U.S. Congressmen Harold "Hal" Rogers (R-Ky.), Michael Fitzpatrick (R- Pa.) and Frank Wolf (R-Va.) will receive Congressional Leadership Awards from Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA).

Deep budget cuts that House Republicans are drafting would slash Amtrak and high-speed rail projects, casting doubt on whether the current Congress would invest in new rail projects, including a Hudson River tunnel. The $224 million from Amtrak operations and $1 billion from high- speed rail were among $13.8 billion in cuts to 70 programs announced Wednesday by House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, R- Ky.
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- One day after House Republicans endorsed legislation that would cut entitlements over defense, the leader of the House Appropriations Committee toured Wright-Patter-son and warned the military would be devastated unless Congress stops $500 billion in budget-sequestration cuts. Standing in front of a backdrop of historic aircraft at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers, R- Kentucky and Appropriations Committee chairman, urged the military to fight against the fallout of sequestration. The cuts over a decade would begin next January on top of $487 billion in less spending the U.S. military already faces.
The decision by House Republicans to put Rep. Hal Rogers, of Kentucky, in charge of the powerful Appropriations Committee apparently is enough to bring fiscal conservatives to tears. Rogers is a veteran lawmaker with a history of earmarking, the process of inserting lawmakers' pet projects in spending bills, often at the last minute and without much scrutiny.
FRANKFORT, Ky. - Two of the state's largest cities - Ashland and Owensboro - would have different congressmen under a congressional redistricting plan approved Thursday by the House Committee on State Government. If the plan survives Senate scrutiny, Ashland would move into U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers' 5th District of eastern Kentucky and out of U.S. Rep. GeoffDavis' 4th District, which runs the length of northern Kentucky from the Louisville suburbs to the West Virginia border. Owensboro would move from U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie's 2nd District that now encircles much of Louisville into U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield's 1st District in far western Kentucky.
Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands, will not reprise his role as chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee in the coming session of Congress. A Republican congressional committee instead chose Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., to lead the committee. Rogers' selection must be confirmed by the rest of the House Republican caucus, but Lewis said Tuesday he looks forward to working with Rogers over the next two years.
