WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.) released the following statement in response to the federal ruling that blocks President Trump's second travel ban executive order:
MONTEREY -- Jan. 23, the first frenzied day of signings by President Donald Trump, included a memorandum ordering an immediate 90-day hiring freeze of all vacant civilian and contract positions within the executive branch of the federal government. Within three days, the Defense Language Institute in Monterey learned from the Army Civilian Human Resources Agency it was not allowed to renew any faculty employment contracts. The impact of that ruling was potentially severe, because about two-thirds of DLI's 1,700 faculty members are on short-term contracts.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., issued the following statement in response to the Congressional Budget Office's report on the Republican health care bill:
"The detailed and thorough analysis of the American Health Care Act by the nonpartisan CBO demonstrates that the Republican bill will force millions of Americans to pay more for less care. The report makes it clear that over the next ten years 24 million Americans will be left uninsured and billions of dollars will be cut from Medicaid.
CARMEL -- A Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare does not appeal to Democratic Congressman Jimmy Panetta, who this week said the alternative healthcare bill would cost more and "leave millions of Americans uninsured."
Following the unveiling of the replacement healthcare plan, called the American Health Care Act, by House of Representatives leaders Monday, Panetta said it would make insurance more expensive and "leave hard-working Americans without quality care options."
Panetta, hailing from what he called “the salad bowl” along California’s Central Coast, said that, even during the five-year drought, the No. 1 issue for his farmer constituents was the labor force. “I believe more people need to realize that specialty crops and immigration and labor go hand in hand,” he said.
