LAS VEGAS — The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce Chairman Kristin McMillan is issuing the following statement applauding today’s passage of the “Jobs bill”, which will give businesses tax breaks for hiring the unemployed and give states more money for infrastructure projects.
McMillan says, ‘The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce is pleased that the United States Senate passed the “Jobs Bill” today. Businesses are struggling, and this bill will help encourage job growth by giving tax breaks to businesses that hire the unemployed. This legislation also adds $20 billion into highway and mass transit programs that will both create jobs and invest in the infrastructure we need.
‘The Chamber appreciates the leadership of Senator Harry Reid and Republican and Democrat lawmakers working together in a bi-partisan manner to enact this bill that will help businesses put people back to work, as well as invest in our nation’s infrastructure. We urge the U.S. House of Representatives to quickly pass this bill in order for businesses to be able to take advantage of these incentives as soon as possible.”
