Hackney to Congress: do something
From N.C. House Speaker Joe Hackney's office:
North Carolina House Speaker Hackney has issued the following statement with respect to action in Washington on the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008:"I am encouraging members of Congress to act quickly on a plan that will restore confidence in the U.S. economy. The ongoing crisis is driving down the value of homes, college saving funds and retirement accounts. Small businesses continue to suffer and some local governments are unable to carry out capital projects because of the tightening credit market. Added delay will only lead to more complications and doubt about the strength of our economy."
Translation: get your sorry back-sides back to work.
