Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis) for offering this important amendment to study the impact of this legislation on employee ownership. I believe that employee ownership opportunities should be made widely available to all employees of a company, from the boardroom to the shop floor. As the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis) stated, this legislation is an important step forward to increasing ownership opportunities and gives companies more flexibility to make those opportunities available. We should understand how this legislation would help increase participation for employees at all key levels. A study will help us understand what we can do in the future to incentivize employee ownership and increase employee ownership participation. If the gentleman would withdraw his amendment, I would like to work with him in requesting GAO to carry out this study.”
