Pelosi Statement on Senate Job Creation Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today on Senate Democrats unveiling late yesterday the first of several job creation bills:

"The House looks forward to reviewing the Senate proposal and working together on legislation that creates jobs and helps our families, small businesses, and workers. We will work to ensure that critical pieces of the House-passed Jobs for Main Street Act are enacted into law -- including investments in our roads, bridges, and public transit systems, support for job training initiatives, and funding to keep police and firefighters on the streets and teachers in the classroom.

"Nearly one year after passing the Recovery Act -- and pulling our economy back from the brink of even greater catastrophe -- Congress is responding to the short-term economic crisis and laying the foundation for long-term growth."
