Due to the ultra-cold spring... The Walleye Fishing Tournament has beenrescheduledto:
The high-stakes debt ceiling debate and votes may have stolen all of the media attention this week, but another very critical piece of legislation: a revision of the burdensome, flawed Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which called for costly environmental testing and safety certification of children's books and other printed materials. The President is expected to sign H.R. 2715 into law in short order.
