Berkley Attends White House Signing Ceremony For Travel Promotion Act |
|
(March 4, 2010) Congresswoman Shelley Berkley joined President Barack Obama, Nevada Senator Harry Reid and Congresswoman Dina Titus at a White House ceremony in the Oval Office to mark the Travel Promotion Act being signed into law.
“Las Vegas is a truly global destination and any effort to promote foreign travel to the U.S. will mean more business for our local economy and more jobs for Nevadans,” said Berkley. “Tourism means business nationwide and this bill is vital for our economy. Last year the U.S. lost nearly 200,000 travel-related jobs. The Travel Promotion Act will help bring back those jobs and put Americans back to work as a result of the increased tourism it will create,” said Berkley.

Berkley Votes For House "HIRE” Bill To Spur Jobs |
|
(March 04, 2010) Congresswoman Shelley Berkley voted in favor of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act.
“Providing a payroll tax holiday for businesses will encourage the hiring of new workers and the $1,000 income tax credit will mean employees stay on the job. Small businesses that receive these incentives will expand, and that will mean the need to hire more workers. This legislation also extends the Highway Trust Fund and makes it easier for Nevada and other states to borrow for school construction, energy projects and other infrastructure investments,” said Berkley.
