Asa Hutchinson: “while the clock is burning, I think it is an appropriate time for me to take a few moments here and relate and include…”

“while the clock is burning, I think it is an appropriate time for me to take a few moments here and relate and include in the Record some of the correspondence I have been privy to concerning what small businesses are facing under the salting campaigns aimed against them and targeting them. These are only samples, but I think they are good samples of businesses across the country. I hope the Senators from these various States we are looking at will think seriously about what their constituents are facing in these targeting campaigns. This particular letter is from Kenny Electric Service and was addressed to the Honorable Dan Schaefer in the State of Colorado. Colorado, of course, like all States across the country, is facing these kinds of campaigns. And because of the building movement in Colorado, I think they have been a particular target. They have many electrical contractors, building contractors, and small business people of various sorts who are facing this and are involved in the building trades industry. I will read the last paragraph in which the letter states: Kenny Electric Service, Inc. has experienced financial losses of over $1 million as a result of union tactics and harassment. Attached are examples of harassment which caused these losses. Your help with the legislation will sincerely be appreciated.”
