Representative Carter, Bipartisan Lawmakers Introduce MINOR Act

(Washington, DC)- Yesterday, Representative John Carter (TX-31) introduced the Military Installation Non-Adult Offender Reform (MINOR) Act, along with Representatives Roger Williams (R-TX-25) and Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28).

There were plenty of jobs, businesses were thriving, and people felt secure enough to invest and spend.
