Michael Roth: “My amendment increases from $500 to $2,000 the annual ESA…”

On the recordMarch 2, 2000

My amendment increases from $500 to $2,000 the annual ESA contribution. It makes the educational savings account permanent. It would make employer provided educational assistance permanent. It removes all tax increases and makes this a pure education tax cut bill. America has waited for this education savings plan for 3 long years. This legislation brings it home today. My amendment makes sure it stays there for families, not just for today but for tomorrow and all the days that follow.

You are correct. Station projects such as those you described on the Charlotte-Greensboro-Raleigh line are important examples of critical investments envisioned in this legislation.
