The legislation requires appropriate use of analgesic and tranquilizing drugs for laboratory animals.

The first day's sessions addressed the outlook for the South Dakota economy. The second day's sessions considered the topic, "Rural Mainstreet: An American Institution," providing evidence that rural America is not participating fully in the current national economicrecovery; the rural population is dwindling and aging; rural income is sagging; agricultural and natural resource industriesare in recession; and small communities are losing their economic identity. The third day's session discussed the role of rural economic developmentas the keystone to the revitalization of rural America and ideas for formulating rural development policies and strategiesto strengthen the rural economy.

  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE August 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF AUGUST 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results RECORD-SETTING PRIMARY ELECTIONS A record number of voters participated in Michigan’s primary election on Aug. 4, with more than 2.5 million people casting a vote either in person or by absentee ballot. One of the most followed races in the primary was the 13th Congressional District rematch between U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit) and Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Jones represented the district for a few weeks in 2018, following the resignation of Rep. John Conyers (D-Detroit) in December 2017. After his resignation, there were two elections for the seat with Jones winning the special election to complete Conyers unexpired term, and Tlaib winning the regular race for the Congressional seat. This year, Tlaib and Jones were the only primary candidates. On Tuesday, Tlaib won the strongly Democratic district with nearly twice as many votes as Jones, potentially guaranteeing her a second term. In the 3rd Congressional District in West Michigan, Republican Peter Meijer, a U.S. Army veteran whose family founded the well-known Meijer retail chain, won a five-way contest with more than 50 percent of the vote, including holding a strong lead over his main opponent Rep. Lynn Afendoulis. Meijer will face Democratic attorney Hillary Scholten. The winner of that race will succeed U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, a former Republican turned Libertarian who is not seeking reelection. In the 10th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold in the Thumb region, Republican businesswoman Lisa McClain of Bruce Township, a pro-Trump Republican who outspent her opponents, beat state Rep.
