El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, visit\u00f3 Hermiston e Irrigon el s\u00e1bado.<\/p>\n

El senador Jeff Merkley, dem\u00f3crata por Oreg\u00f3n, recibi\u00f3 una ronda de aplausos de aprobaci\u00f3n en Hermiston el s\u00e1bado despu\u00e9s de dejar en claro a la audiencia en un foro municipal que no estaba contento con el acuerdo comercial Trans-Pac\u00edfico.
\u201cTengo profundas, profundas reservas\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n

Merkley dijo que ten\u00eda un problema con el secreto que rodea al acuerdo comercial y se opuso a la idea de que el Congreso deber\u00eda acelerar el acuerdo con una simple votaci\u00f3n a favor o en contra sin enmiendas.<\/p>\n

Dijo que ha presionado a la administraci\u00f3n de Obama para que se asegure de que se agreguen controles sobre la manipulaci\u00f3n de divisas al acuerdo para evitar que otros pa\u00edses utilicen la estrategia para eludir la reducci\u00f3n de aranceles. Pero sobre esa y otras solicitudes similares, dijo que se les dice a los legisladores que agregar tales enmiendas har\u00eda que otros pa\u00edses no firmaran el acuerdo.<\/p>\n

Merkley dijo que el pa\u00eds perdi\u00f3 5 millones de empleos de manufactura bajo el TLCAN y que no quer\u00eda que sucediera algo similar con el TPP.<\/p>\n

La educaci\u00f3n fue otro tema candente en el ayuntamiento de Hermiston de Merkley, donde varios estudiantes le pidieron que abordara cuestiones relacionadas con el exceso de pruebas estandarizadas y la asequibilidad de la universidad.<\/p>\n

Merkley dijo que apoyaba un amplio proyecto de ley de educaci\u00f3n para reemplazar No Child Left Behind con algo que se centrara menos en las pruebas de alto riesgo.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa estrategia de la verg\u00fcenza no ha funcionado para que las escuelas sean excelentes en ninguna naci\u00f3n del mundo\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n

Merkley dijo que las matem\u00e1ticas y la lectura son importantes, pero llega un momento en que la preparaci\u00f3n para los ex\u00e1menes estatales desplaza el aprendizaje pr\u00e1ctico en otras materias y reduce la educaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica profesional.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Child Left Behind ha dejado atr\u00e1s las clases de taller\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n

Merkley honr\u00f3 a dos programas estudiantiles locales diferentes: los 40 equipos de rob\u00f3tica de Umatilla y el programa de construcci\u00f3n de viviendas para estudiantes de Columbia Basin, por construir una base s\u00f3lida de educaci\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica y profesional para los estudiantes en el \u00e1rea.<\/p>\n

En cuanto a la asequibilidad de la universidad, Merkley dijo que la idea del presidente Barack Obama de una universidad comunitaria gratuita en todo el pa\u00eds ten\u00eda pocas posibilidades de ganar los votos para convertirse en una realidad a nivel federal, pero hab\u00eda visto algunas ideas prometedoras flotando en la legislatura de Oreg\u00f3n que reducir\u00edan en gran medida el costo de la universidad comunitaria.<\/p>\n

Merkley le dijo a la audiencia en Hermiston High School que estaba complacido de que tanta gente hubiera venido a hacer preguntas porque las cosas que escucha en los ayuntamientos y a trav\u00e9s de las cartas de los electores afectan sus acciones como senador.<\/p>\n

Respondi\u00f3 a una pregunta sobre la protecci\u00f3n del servicio postal rural se\u00f1alando que estaba en el este de Oreg\u00f3n cuando el Servicio Postal de EE. UU. anunci\u00f3 su plan de cerrar 41 oficinas postales en Oreg\u00f3n. Dijo que habl\u00f3 con personas que dijeron que se mudar\u00edan de la zona rural de Oreg\u00f3n si su oficina de correos local cerrara porque no podr\u00edan realizar sus negocios o no podr\u00edan recibir sus medicamentos por correo.<\/p>\n

Merkley dijo que tom\u00f3 esas preocupaciones y elabor\u00f3 una enmienda a un proyecto de ley que establece est\u00e1ndares sobre d\u00f3nde el USPS podr\u00eda cerrar las oficinas de correos en funci\u00f3n de la capacidad de los ciudadanos para obtener medicamentos por correo, entre otros temas. Como resultado, la \u00fanica de las 41 oficinas de correos programadas para el cierre en Oreg\u00f3n que ya no est\u00e1 operativa hoy es una que se quem\u00f3.<\/p>\n

En respuesta a una pregunta sobre los beneficios de los veteranos, se\u00f1al\u00f3 que una sugerencia de un veterano en un ayuntamiento lo ayud\u00f3 a redactar otra ley despu\u00e9s de que el veterano dijera que no ten\u00eda sentido que los c\u00f3nyuges de los soldados muertos en el cumplimiento del deber fueran " t les otorgaba los mismos beneficios de educaci\u00f3n que a sus hijos, a pesar de que eran los c\u00f3nyuges los que tendr\u00edan que mantener a la familia despu\u00e9s de la muerte de su ser querido.<\/p>\n

Anim\u00f3 a los constituyentes a continuar presentando nuevas ideas y dando su opini\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u201cSigue dici\u00e9ndome cu\u00e1ndo crees que estoy en el buen camino y cu\u00e1ndo crees que estoy fuera del camino\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
