Castor calls for investigation of 9/11 Sarasota connection
Tampa Congresswoman Kathy Castor Monday called on the House Intelligence Committee to investigate why the FBI did not disclose to Congress information it learned about a Saudi couple living in southwest Florida with ties to the 9/11 hijackers.

The issue has grown in resonance after Hurricane Irene churned up significant damage in the Northeast. Concurrently, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was saying even before the storm hit that Congress would need to make commensurate budget cuts to pay for FEMA funding for hurricane cleanup. That statement has been met ...

U.S. Rep. Castor Works with Florida Delegation to Demand End to Sabotage of Insurance Coverage House Republicans voted last month to rip health care coverage from working families, and while families across America await the outcome of congressional action, the Trump Administration continues to undermine the stability of the marketplace and refuses to commit to keeping premiums low. The effect of the Trump Administration’s sabotage strategy is already being felt in states around the country. “President Trump and his administration should focus on helping hardworking families keep their affordable health coverage rather than sticking Americans with much higher insurance bills,” said U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor (FL14), who is leading Florida’s entire Democratic Congressional Delegation to urge Pres. Trump to act to protect affordable health care by committing to maintaining cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments or else be responsible for higher costs and dire consequences for Florida families. “Support is critical for affordable quality health coverage and Presid |
U.S. Rep. Castor's Statement After Republicans Voted to Rip Consumer Protections Away U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor (FL14) released the following statement after the congressional Republican vote today to rip consumer protections away from hardworking families and small businesses – elevating the interests of Wall Street over Main Street: “Republicans have forgotten the pain of working families in Tampa and across America during the Great Recession. I have not. I remember all too well how many people lost their homes and lost their jobs. I worked to keep many of my neighbors out of foreclosure and connect them with jobs. In response to the worst economic collapse in our lifetimes, I worked with colleagues to pass Wall Street Reform and outlaw the Wall Street risky deals that lead to the Great Recession. We took action so that the economic collapse we experienced would never happen again. Today, House Republicans rolled back many of the most important Wall Street reforms and consumer protections. They care more about their Wall Str |
