Columbus - State Senator Eric H. Kearney (D-Cincinnati) issued the following statement today after President Obama visited Cincinnati’s Brent Spence Bridge to urge support for the American Jobs Act:
“I’m pleased that President Obama came to Cincinnati to call for an end to the partisan gridlock in Washington so that we can focus on what should be our top priority, which is putting Americans back to work.
Passing the American Jobs Act is the first step to ensuring that projects like the Brent Spence Bridge get the repairs they need while creating vital jobs for our economy. The American Jobs Act is based on bipartisan ideas that will create jobs now and put more money in the pockets of working and middle class Americans. It will also cut taxes for small businesses that are so vital to the economic growth of Cincinnati and the entire nation.
The Brent Spence Bridge is one of the most frequently used trucking routes in America, yet it needs several significant repairs to remain reliable and safe. Thousands of people use the bridge to travel through Ohio everyday. Having sound transportation infrastructure will ensure that Cincinnati remains a great place to do business.”
Senator Kearney represents Cincinnati, Norwood, Deer Park, Silverton, Springfield Township, Golf Manor, St. Bernard, Elmwood Place, Cheviot, Addyston, North Bend, Columbia Township and Cleves.
