“We need to get really deep into this, because just throwing money at this problem through supps every couple months is not a long-term solution or answer to what we have going on right now," O'Connor told the News Service. "We need to do better when it comes to what we're doing in this space, and better doesn't mean just the price tag. Better means stronger policy, stronger communication and dialogue with our federal delegation -- to actually tell them to get something done, because this has gone on for far too long.”
Sen. Patrick O'Connor
