Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (CA-47), on Thursday offered the final amendment to the Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act of 2011, H.R. 527. Rep. Sanchez’ motion to recommit, which did not pass, would have ensured that H.R. 527 does not prohibit the implementation of recently passed incentives that help small businesses to hire veterans.

Voices From Street Corners (Vol 7)

It was a bit of a cold and damp week in South County. As always, though, there was a lot going on. As I was about town, I got a chance to talk to a few of the regulars on Street Corners. The old Veteran was at his old station continuing to ask for help. When I went up to talk to him and asked him how things were, his only comment to me was, “the man up there will take care of things…”. I wanted to again ask whether he had gone up to the One Stop Center. I also told him about a Security Job Opportunity that I saw that he could potentially qualify for.
