Half a million didn't get us anywhere near the level of improvements that we'll need, but it's allowing us to do these three projects,
Small businesses provide 75 percent of new U.S. jobs and are the backbone of our economy, and no outdated ban should be keeping small business owners from collecting the same interest their money could earn if it were held by an individual.
In our 21st Century economy, no American should be losing the option of earning interest on their own money simply because they own a small business.
The concerns in the Witt Report that have gone unaddressed and the inefficient response to Hurricane Katrina have given local officials practical reasons not to certify these plans. FEMA needs to acknowledge these flaws and work more closely with our local communities to put adequate emergency preparedness plans in place.
While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans' benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans.
Every bit of money that we can bring from our federal transportation budget in Washington back here to Stewart Airport will benefit our local economy and our local residents.
As a former professional patient advocate, I believe prescription drugs are an essential part of high-quality medical treatment, and I supported enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act.
But there is a need to explore ways we can preserve the promise of Social Security for future generations.
Our government makes the simple promise of a secure retirement to every American who works for many years and contributes to our retirement benefit system.
Social Security is the very foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans.
The growth of Stewart Airport creates new jobs for area residents, brings new business and new travelers to the region, and brings new convenient travel options to those of us living in the Hudson Valley.
Promoting job creation and economic growth in the Hudson Valley is one of my top priorities in Congress.
As a former teacher and a mother and grandmother, I know firsthand the importance of a quality education.
I remain committed to improving the government services to which Hudson Valley veterans are entitled.
