On the recordJanuary 11, 1995
thousands of workers in my community got a major slap in the face last year where their employer told them their jobs would be moved to other parts of the country. If this was not bad enough, these loyal employees had salt rubbed in their wounds a short time later, when it was learned that Federal Community Development Block Grant funds would be used to help move these jobs to other States. This is something that should not happen. Using Federal funds to move jobs from one area to another is a total waste of taxpayer money and an insult to the people who are losing their jobs. Today I am introducing legislation that would add an antipiracy provision to the block grant law. It will prevent the use of these funds from being used to steal jobs. As we look for ways to save Federal tax dollars and get a better bang for our buck, this is the perfect place to start.
