Shea-Porter Calls for Congress to Remain In Session and Work on Jobs Bills
Source: NH Labor News
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives asking Congress to extend its current session in order to end sequestration and pass job-creating legislation. On August 2rd, the House is scheduled to leave for summer recess for over a month before returning in September.
Shea-Porter criticized Congress’ inability to pass legislation that grows the economy and strengthens the middle class.
“We did not pass a single jobs bill, not one,” Shea-Porter said.
It’s been 212 days since the start of the 113th Congress. Only 22 bills have been signed into law, and none are jobs bills or legislation to replace the devastating cuts of sequestration.
