Today, Congressman David Scott voted to pass H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
“The American people are expecting Congress to act with boldness and confidence to help kick-start economic growth. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will stimulate the economy by investing in transportation, schools, health care and other fundamental community needs. It is estimated by the Council of Economic Advisors that over 100,000 jobs will be created in Georgia, and over 9,000 will be created in my district, from these critical investments. I encourage local governments to work with the state to spend these funds quickly and wisely and target them in areas that will provide the most economic benefit,” Congressman Scott said.
Once the Senate passes the Economic Recovery Act, President Obama will quickly sign it into law.
