Yesterday, I was grateful to learn that Tidewater Boats is investing $8.3 million to expand their manufacturing facility in Lexington, South Carolina, creating 100 new jobs. This news is on top of Aflac announcing they will be expanding their 700 employees in Columbia, South Carolina, and doubling their employee 401(k) matching funds. On the same day Republicans passed historic tax cuts, AT&T, led by Pam Lackey, announced they are providing 200,000 employees a $1,000 bonus. Comcast will be providing $1,000 bonuses to 100,000 employees. BB&T, a valued corporate citizen led by Mike Brennan, will be raising their employee wages to $15 an hour and providing a $1,200 bonus for 27,000 employees. Boeing of Charleston announced they will be donating $100 million to charities that focus on education, local communities, veterans, and military personnel. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is not only for businesses. I appreciate that next month American families will see more of their own money in their paycheck. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Best wishes to Darrell Issa and Kathy Issa for their dedicated service as they announce retirement. We look forward to their continued service for the American people. ____________________
