Lowell Keef from Oregon

I mailed a certified letter to the House Judiciary Committee to advise them of an informant who was issued the money to pay for a commercial drivers lisence and become a school bus driver . Scint the law enforcement agency who issued the money did not know that she was Bi-Polar or that she had a drug and alcohol problem . I believe the lives of those school children were endangered.
