question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lawlor is Neutral . Mike Lawlor  undersecretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning in Connecticut   says the delay is unusual and unexplained. Last year Connecticut received about $2.6 million in JAG grants.
"Every single state gets one of these grants and this year not a single state has gotten it and we have repeatedly asked the Department of Justice what's going on "  Lawlor  said. "They consistently can't or won't answer the question so we don't know. We assume it's because they have concerns about sanctuary cities around the country."
At this point though  the DOJ hasn't just missed the disbursement date. States have not even been notified of the grant award  which usually happens around April or May  according to  Lawlor .
"There's going to be more steps that have to take place before the money's actually received  and typically it's about six months from the date of the award until the date you get the check  " Lawlor  said. "And it's important to keep in mind  this is going on in every state in the country. The reddest of red states  you know  Mississippi  Alabama  they're having the same problem."
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Comey is Neutral . WASHINGTON (AP) â  Former FBI Director James Comey  scorned the memo that was released by House Republicans after being declassified Friday by President Donald Trump  saying it doesn't add up to much. "That's it?"  Comey  said on Twitter.
"Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House intel committee  destroyed trust with Intelligence Community  damaged relationship with FISA court  and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. For what?"  Comey  wrote  adding: "DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs."
The tweet was the latest in a series from  Comey  this week as Trump clashed with the FBI over the release of the GOP-written memo. On Thursday   Comey  stood up for the bureau's position against the document's disclosure and took aim at unnamed people  he  calls "weasels and liars."
"All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would  " Comey  tweeted Thursday night amid news that the FBI had lobbied the White House to block the release of a partisan memo on the Russia investigation.
On Friday morning   the president  continued  his  verbal attacks against the FBI  writing on Twitter  "The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans â something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File are great people!"
On Twitter   Comey  urged  his  former colleagues to "take heart: American history shows that  in the long run  weasels and liars never hold the field  so long as good people stand up."
 He  concluded  "Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy" â a reference to the senator who  in the 1950s  conducted hearings aimed at rooting out Communists in the U.S. government.
Since  his  firing last May   Comey  has made  his  personal feelings about Trump known  testifying in detail about personal interactions  he  says troubled  him .
 He  also authorized a close friend to share with reporters details from a memo  he  produced documenting one such encounter â a February conversation in the Oval Office in which  he  said Trump encouraged  him  to drop an FBI investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. That revelation prompted the Justice Department's appointment of a special counsel to run the Russia investigation.
 Comey  has also used language about "weasels" before  most notably in a September 2016 congressional hearing when  he  defended the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
"You can call us wrong  but don't call us weasels "  Comey  said. "We are not weasels. We are honest people and we did this in that way."
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ben Bernanke is Neutral . HARWICH - Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke  acknowledging that failures in oversight contributed to a near-catastrophic financial crisis  yesterday called on Congress to enact comprehensive changes that he said would close gaps in regulation  prevent future bailouts  and create a council of top regulators to identify risks to the nation's financial system.
 Bernanke  speaking at the annual conference of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank  said the Fed has already taken a number of steps to improve supervision of banks  expanding its focus from individual institutions to include stability of the financial system. In addition  it has taken steps to crack down on risky practices  including issuing guidelines to banks to overhaul bonus systems that may spur employees to take excessive risks.
 Ultimately  however  Congress must act  Bernanke said. The nation needs a way to deal with the failure of large  complex financial institutions without putting the entire system at risk or bailing them out with taxpayer money. It needs to bring all financial institutions under rigorous federal oversight. And it needs to coordinate information and action among US financial regulators to identify and prevent threats to financial stability  he said.
 "It remains critical for Congress to close regulatory gaps and provide supervisors with additional tools for anticipating and managing systemic risks " Bernanke said in prepared remarks. "Large  complex financial firms that do not own a bank  but nonetheless pose risks to the overall financial system  must not be permitted to avoid comprehensive and effective supervisory oversight."
 Bernanke was the keynote speaker at a three-day conference sponsored by the Boston Fed. The conference  entitled "After the Fall " brought together business and academic economists to explore ways to prevent another financial crisis like the one that edged the US and global economies toward another depression.
 Bernanke said aggressive and coordinated international efforts by central banks and governments had averted a collapse in the global financial and economic systems. Conditions have improved substantially in recent months  he said.
 "However  even though we avoided the worst financial and economic outcomes  the fallout from the crisis has nonetheless been very severe " he said. "Now is the time for policy makers to take action to reduce the probability and severity of future crises."
answer:

yes
