  I, like a lot of people, am frustrated with the current situation regarding bank failures, health insurance, increased taxes and other challenges that make our life a little harder each day.

• Himes’ Real Record Reforming Wall Street

  To the editor:

  Mr. Freundlich misleads the public in his letter to the editor, April 20, about Congressman Jim Himes. I must correct the record. Jim Himes should be commended for his work in shaping and passing a strong financial reform bill in the House that will help prevent another fiscal crisis. He has used his expertise to take a leadership role on the Financial Services Committee to protect American taxpayers, and has been a strong advocate for those impacted by the recession.

• Historic Health Care Legislation Passed

  This week’s health care reform bill, signed into law by President Barack Obama on Tuesday after an arduous and slim win in the House of Representatives, guarantees that more than 30 million currently uninsured Americans will receive health care. The bill aims to reduce cost over time, thus lowering the national debt and improving health care for those who already have insurance, according to lawmakers.
