• Rockland Congressman Lawler Breaks Rank in Defense of Health, Childcare Funding (rocklandnews.com) — From his Pearl River office, Rep. Mike Lawler is pushing to restore Affordable Care Act subsidies and unfreeze childcare and social-service funding that many Rockland families rely on. He’s bucking some in his own party, arguing fraud should be punished without cutting off legitimate aid that keeps local parents working and healthcare premiums manageable.
