VP Paramus finance event pool report #3 Harris also went on to discuss the importance of removing lead pipes, mentioning passing legislation that will get rid of all lead pipes in America in the next nine years. Individuals should not be the ones to remove lead pipes, as it is "an appropriate responsibility of the government charged with public health and public education," said Harris. She concluded her 20 minute speech by thanking healthcare leaders again and stressing a focus on communities and the needs of families and how together they can uplift their conditions. "There's good work that's been happening and there's more work to be done and we are all in it together," said Harris to the sounds of applause by attendees. Harris will later be attending to film a segment of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert at 6 p.m. in New York City. |
