Rep. Robert Hurt, the Republican congressman who represents the region, sent a letter to HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell on Monday morning demanding she halt the project.
After the delay was announced, Mr. Hurt said it should be the beginning of a total rethink.“I would request that they completely halt the implementation of this plan and return to the drawing board,” he said in a statement.
“If the HHS plan is indeed good for the people of Lawrenceville and Brunswick County, then they should begin with a transparent and open process that includes the community and the local elected officials every step of the way and ensures compliance with all local, state and federal laws — including the local zoning ordinances of the town of Lawrenceville.”

These fat, lazy congress critters always send letters. How about a local militia?
