AEM encourages new congress

More advice for the 110th Congress is rolling in, this time from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. AEM says it looks forward to advancing the legislative goals of its members. “Continued strengthening of the economy should be a major emphasis of the new Congress,” stated AEM President Dennis Slater. Among the major issues the new Congress will face, according to AEM, is how to fund the mounting infrastructure needs of our nation. “A reliable and dependable transportation network is vital to the growth and strength of our nation’s economy in an ever increasing global marketplace,” said Slater. “Increased funding for water infrastructure improvements is also critical to ensure quality of life.” Your comment?
