WASHINGTON DC - Ways and Means Committee Chairman Sander M. Levin (D-MI) today issued the following statement in advance of the President’s upcoming speech tomorrow in Cleveland, Ohio:
“I applaud the President for his continued recognition of the need for further action to support jobs and economic recovery. Recent jobs and economic data underscore the fact that while we’ve made progress in pulling the economy out of recession, additional steps are needed to accelerate investment and hiring. That’s why those who have blocked consideration of small business and jobs legislation need to put partisanship aside and allow Congress to complete those bills as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing the President’s ideas for additional incentives for businesses to invest in America and to continuing to work with him to enact legislation to support job creation."
