Heller on June jobless numbers: “Pelosi should reconsider August break”
Following the announcement that Nevada's unemployment rate for June climbed to a new record of 14.2 percent, Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., issued this statement:
“The latest unemployment numbers for Nevada are very disheartening. While Nevadans continue to struggle to make ends meet, Congress is currently scheduled for a six week break over August and September. Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership should reconsider taking time off until Congress finally passes an economic measure that gets Americans back to work. Instead of trying to convince the American public that the stimulus is working, Congress should actually turn its attention to bipartisan policies that will lead to economic recovery.”
