| By Jen Dimascio – Politico, July 31, 2009 Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.) has called Grover Norquist’s anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform “lying sacks of scum” for lumping him in with other moderate Democrats who support the House health reform bill. “Americans for Tax Reform are lying sacks of scum, and anyone who knowingly repeats this false information is also a liar,” Taylor said in an unusually blistering statement for a member of Congress. The incident has so incensed Taylor, he’s pointing out Americans for Tax Reforms past ties to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. | |

| U.S. Navy vows to sail steadier on shipbuilding July 31, 2009 |
Reuters, July 30, 2009 “If we cannot get these shipbuilding costs under control, we will never again have the number of ships the CNO (chief of naval operations) needs to perform all the tasks that we as a nation ask,” he said in a prepared statement. The program to build a “littoral” combat ship for coastal waters, of which the Navy hopes to buy 55, is a “disaster,” with surging costs, Taylor added. “I am not sure the Congress is willing to go forward with that program unless significant progress is made on cost control,” he said. “And I do mean significant.” | |

| Flood insurance extended, not changed July 30, 2009 |
| Frank promises Taylor wind coverage will be discussed on House floor – Sun Herald, July 28, 2009 WASHINGTON — The House approved a six-month extension of the National Flood Insurance Program Wednesday, without changes to the existing program, although Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Bay St. Louis, secured a promise from House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., to pursue wind coverage on the House floor. The flood insurance program, due to expire Sept. 30th, was extended to March 31, 2010 and Taylor engaged in a series of scripted questions and answers, known as a colloquy, with Frank, on the House floor. | |

| Health Care Reform |
| Gene’s position I am opposed to the current health care reform bills being debated in Congress. We should not create an expensive new government health program or promise new government health benefits when we have not figured out how to pay the future costs of Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and other federal health programs that were promised by previous Presidents and previous Congresses. | |

| Cap & Trade |
H.R. 2454 the American Clean Energy and Security Act HR2454.pdf I do not believe a cap and trade system is the approach that is best to reduce global warming gases. As a matter of fact I think it is a simple “Ponzi Scheme” that will increase energy prices. I also don’t like the idea that a factory in one state is cleaner than it has to be so that another factory is dirtier than it should be. This could potentially leave Mississippi with the cancer causing agents and other states with the credit. | |
