“I rise this evening in support of H.R. 1155, the SCRUB Act, and would like to thank my colleague from Missouri (Mr. Smith) for his leadership in this matter.

Oppressive Federal regulations are holding our small businesses back from growing and creating more jobs, and we all know we need more jobs created in this country.

They say that reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens would allow them to focus their energy and time and resources on growing and expanding their business and creating the jobs that are sorely needed in Cincinnati.
