Kaptur said the grant is on top of more than $22 million that the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded Hopkins in July to improve the airport's snow removal fleet and reconfigure its taxiways to improve sightlines for pilots and airfield crews.
The December budget deal directed HHS and the Veteran’s Administration to produce a report on prices paid by federal health programs on prescription drugs going back to 2003 as well as an analysis of the resources it takes to bring a new drug to market. That was supposed to be due six months later — in June — and could throw fuel onto the drug price fire. The office of Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who requested the report, said in late August that it was due “within weeks” — so keep an eye out.
