This is true devolution, making sure every head teacher is in charge of that irschool providing a great education for our children. Finally, pauline latham. Thank you, mr. Speaker. My constituent jackie has been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. She has shown courage in her fight against the disease but unfortunately jackie did not get the support or compassion of her employer who wanted to dismiss her through capability procedures.

Mr. Mulvaney lets be clear and honest. You do intend to preempt state aw in certain areas. Mr. Cordray i dont think we preempt state law. What will happen mr. Mulvaney in a letter of february 11, 2016, to my ffice. I asked about this particular issue.

State laws that afford greater protection would not be preempted by a Bureau Regulation on small dollar lending.
