Mitch Landrieu: “We offered this amendment to try to technically correct a glitch in the renewal community law. It only affects districts…”

On the recordMay 15, 2003
We offered this amendment to try to technically correct a glitch in the renewal community law. It only affects districts in Louisiana and Alabama now, but it could affect, in the near term, districts in 40 other States. I am going to ask the chairman of the Finance Committee to consider this fix. It only costs $14 million a year and it will help create jobs in some of the poorest areas in our country. So if I could ask for their consideration, I will at this time withdraw the amendment.
