House committee seeks briefing from meningitis-linked pharmacy

Bipartisan lawmakers on the Republican-led House Energy and Commerce Committee called on the New England Compounding Center co-owner Barry Cadden to provide a documented picture of his company's operations at a meeting with panel staff to be held no later than October 18

(The fox will be investigating the hen house. In other words, a Republican led commitee, who have fought against oversight and FDA regulations, bought and paid by lobbyists, will hold a hearing on the deaths of 14 by contaminated drugs by the company owned by Republicans, who have held Republican fundraisers for candidate Scott Brown who VOTED against further regulation in the compound drug industry. This whole story needs an investigative journalist. The company has been implicated in needless deaths since 2004, from contaminated drugs. We need to make the Republicans OWN this tragedy.)
