ROB PORTMAN\n\n                                of ohio\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, December 15, 2000\n\n  Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to a distinguished\nfriend, Judge Deidra Hair, who will step down from her service on the\nHamilton County Common Pleas Court on December 31, 2000.\n  In 1995, the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court was founded as Ohio's\nfirst drug court. Judge Hair, who helped to establish the drug court,\nhas tirelessly handled about 1,500 cases each year. Her court has\nbecome a model across Ohio, and since 1995, ten additional courts in\nOhio have been crafted in its likeness.\n  The goal of the drug court is to rehabilitate substance abusers and\nkeep them out of court and out of prison. Those arrested on drug abuse\ncharges or those who commit a non-violent felony under the influence of\ndrugs may have their case heard by the drug court. Using strict\ncriteria, the court may accept applicants who do not have a violent\ncriminal background and who have committed a low-\n\n[[Page E2195]]\n\nlevel felony that does not require prison time. If accepted, they must\nplead guilty and enter drug rehabilitation. The goal is to break the\ncycle of addiction, so the court selects those who are most likely to\nbe helped.\n  I have been privileged to observe the drug court and to attend an\ninspiring graduation ceremony for participants who have successfully\ncompleted this program. Through that, I've seen firsthand the good work\nthat drug rehabilitation can do.\n  Judge Hair has literally helped to turn hundreds of lives around in\nthe Cincinnati community, and she will be dearly missed when she steps\ndown from the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. All of us in the\nCincinnati area wish her the very best in her future endeavors.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2000-12-15-pt1-PgE2194-5"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 28.132611885666847, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
