Political Quotes

We are lucky in Nebraska. Our unemployment rate is currently around 4.2%. Personally, I'd like to see it be an even smaller number. Without passage of H.R. 2681 and H.R. 2250, we will see job loss in Nebraska. With regards to the Boiler MACT rules--Nebraska estimates a potential job loss of 921 jobs at a cost of over 57 million dollars. With regards to the Cement MACT rules--Nebraska estimates a cost of $24-28 million to keep the approximately 135 jobs. These bills give EPA time to reconsider and re-propose these regulations so the final rules are achievable and based on real-world technologies. We like our low unemployment numbers in Nebraska and passing these two bills will help ensure our numbers stay low. Mr. President, don't let the EPA kill jobs in my state.
