an injunction issued an order to hold funds for planned parenthood of utah. you have vowed to fight that really is a presumptuous to call before planned parenthood? i don't think it's presumptuous because we know the parent organization has caused some controversy. anyone has seen the videos. some kind of assumption that they were colleagues in medicine and science and we didn't know that is why we have a moment of candor. that should cause us all a little bit applause. i do do not discount the fact that planned parenthood does some good things. but that is not to paint over the concerns we have with what we viewed on the videos. that beingvideos. that being said, the more important issue is to make sure we were able to provide for women's healthcare and what ever form of fashion we think is important in our states. we have 41 different locations41 different locations in the state of utah were women's healthcare issues are being addressed. most all of them provide the word mammograms. i just believei just believe that we have not a lot of money in the state of utah, less than $275,0

to speak not only on behalf of the people of utah's governor but also on behalf of the national governors association a significant bipartisan organization that is serving the public well and the great state of utah and the other 49 states and our territories. people asked me how it is that i was able to get the support of the other 49 governors to become the chair of the national governors association. i thought long and hard about that and i came to the conclusion that i'm the only governor not running for president. [laughter] has opened up an opportunity for me. i feel it's an opportunity and i'm grateful to be here with a lot of friends and the chamber of commerce tommy berg who does an excellent job with his reporting and the vice president of the national press club. for those of you who i don't know i'm a will rogers sky were a stranger's just a friend i have never met so i look forward to meeting with u.n. chatting about things that are important to you. the national governors association has a significantly important organization and that it brings her governors of our

to this conclusion. last week we asked the gentleman from utah, is there any evidence that planned parenthood has broken any law. and no, i am not suggesting that they broke the law. i would like to conclude that this hearing, much like the broader attack on planned parenthood may be a political theater. designed to rally the conservative base of rollback. in practice, these investigations have had little to do with the videos which some went to great lengths at the last hearing. and that includes the most conservative elements of one of the parties during an interparty leadership crisis. we may have a legitimate difference of opinion but it remains the law of the land and many women in the health care system go to planned parenthood coming back from a six in 10 women who received services at a family planning center consider their primary source and it makes up an incredibly small amount of the services it provides.

gentleman from utah, is there any evidence that planned parenthood has broken any law? mr. j fits answered with the truth, no, i am not suggesting that they broke the law. i am led to conclude that this hearing much like the broader attack on planned parenthood may be political theater. maybe. designed to rally the conservative base and rollback constitutional right to choose wherever possible. in practice these investigations have had little to do with the videos which some went to great lengths not to discuss at our last hearing. they had everything to do with appeasing the most conservative elements giant editorship party leadership process and a fractious presidential primary. they may have a legitimate difference of opinion on roe v wade, but it remains the law of the land. in an attempt by some to relitigate the 40 -year-old decision places thousands of lives risk. many women enter the healthcare system through a family planning provider. in fact, six in ten women who who receive services at a publicly funded family planning center consider it their primary source of medical

. it is now my pleasure to yield one minute to the gentleman from utah, mr. chaffetz, chairman of the oversight and government reform committee, that held a number of key hearings on the export-import bank. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from utah is recognized for one minute. mr. chaffetz: thank you, mr. speaker. i stand to express opposition to the re-authorization of the ex-im bank. as we look at these weighty issues, i think it's important that we look at both the liability and accountability in this factor. you look at the liability, whenever we make decision abouts spending money, we are talking about pulling money out of somebody's wallet and giving it to somebody else. in this case as we look at liability, we are taking every americans' wallet and putting it on the line and saying should we or should we not create liability for more individuals across the heartland? for mom and dad i don't think that's the right ecaution. -- equation. these are such good loans and they are so profitable, then do them in the private sector. you don't need the federal government to do th

utah where creating solar projects. town, that i was not able to go to, but i wish i would have gone, another community power town purchased an old mining plants and rehabbed it, and started generating their own power. the range of the project , and the types of communities but decided to get involved doing this. the question is why did these communities do this. the was also surprising, variety of reasons the places decided to develop their own power. theirgton has rescued municipal utility, in the hands of a private company, and they did it because of money. the rates were too high. not surprising. still, a reason that many towns are trying to get in on it. community power can be a source of revenue for the town. , actuallyc power public power consumers pay significantly less on average than private power consumers. some towns wanted to develop green power. boulder, colorado recently did not renew the contract with their private power producer because they were tired of the company dragging its feet on developing green power. the citizens, great, we will do it ourselves. another re

corey said, i came at this as a former federal prosecutor. i witnessed a case in utah, where i worked, where there was a young man in his mid-20's, father of two young children, he made some mistakes. he sold marijuana on three occasions. he had a firearm on his person. the way that federal sentencing laws work, it produced a 55 year minimum mandatory sentence. he will be in prison until he is 80, without some meaningful reform. i remember when that case was n opinion was issued, where it was said that congress tied his hands. there's no reason we should lock him up until he is 80. jonathan: i want to take a step back to you too. we are living through this era where the political divide is as ieep as it has ever been -- even heard some of it in here, when i was talking to kathy -- kathleen morris rogers. we had a member of congress boycott the pope's speech. what do you do when you hang out ? what your colleagues say about that? [laughter] senator booker: that part of it occurs a lot more commonly the people might think. whereare a lot of issues we don't disagree. i see this as one is

-op in utah plans to raise its premiums by 58% starting in january, just to be able to stay open. is that what the president promised when he said rates would drop $2,500 per family? in montana, the rates are set to go up 43% for some co-op plans. that's not what anyone in america needs, and it's certainly not what rural americans need. president obama said that the american people were going to get more choices, more choices, he said, because of his law, instead of getting fewer choices. and yet he stands up and boldly says, it's working better than he expected. obamacare created the illusion of coverage. now even the illusion is disappearing. what's even worse for rural americans is that it's not just the coverage that's turning out to be an illusion under obamacare. the care is actually disappearing. earlier this month, we learned that mercy hospital in independence, kansas, will be closing soon. this is the 56th rural hospital to close in the united states since 2010, when obamacare became law. another 238 hospitals are in danger of closing. the added expense, the regulations, th
