READER’S EDITORIAL: HUNTER SHOULD SUPPORT JOBS PROPOSAL

September 2011 Articles

By Bonnie Burns Price, Ph.D.

September 16, 2011 (Spring Valley) -- President Obama has addressed the public's concern about the lack of jobs by a proposal that addresses public needs, such as infrastructure repair, as well as jobs for the unemployed. Several elements of his proposal had bipartisan origins.

Unfortunately, Congressman Hunter (R-52CD) often puts his party ahead of both public and individual needs.

Congressman Hunter should live up to the image he tried to create by sponsoring the recent East County Career Center's Job Fair and vote to support the President's proposal, the American Jobs Act.
