Polk sheriff visits D. C. to fight foster-care cuts
Polk sheriff visits D. C. to fight foster-care cuts
April 6, 2005 Polk County Sheriff Robert Wolfe and other Oregon law enforcement officials were in Washington, D. C., on Tuesday to fight a proposed foster-care cut. They asked Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith to oppose a foster-care-reform bill pushed by a California Republican. Smith and Wyden sit on the financing committee that would consider the bill. Republicans in Congress want to shift the focus of foster care to prevention, but Oregon sheriffs and police chiefs say that the plan would cut a hole in the net that saves children from parents who use methamphetamine. http://159.54.226.83/apps/pbcs.dll/a...504060319/1042 "Meddle not in the affairs of Dragons, For you are crunchy and taste good with catsup."
