Jeremiah Smith: “I thank Senator Gregg and Senator Hollings for their help. As Senator Gregg knows, American Tissue has closed its mills…”

On the recordSeptember 13, 2001
I thank Senator Gregg and Senator Hollings for their help. As Senator Gregg knows, American Tissue has closed its mills in Berlin and Gorham with only a few employees keeping the hydro plants in Gorham running. These employees are not being paid. The mills have supported these communities for 150 years and are the largest employers in the north country. In addition to people being out of work, American Tissue owes the towns millions of dollars in back taxes and water bills. The EDA has visited the area and has seen first hand how desperate the situation is and I would like to encourage them to do whatever they can to provide these communities with additional help.
