More Action Needed For Arizona Working Families

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend a roundtable discussion with Vice President Joe Biden on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and its impact on Arizona working families.

Biden highlighted the administration's achievements in implementing the provisions of the Recovery Act as well as acknowledging the economic difficulties still facing Arizona and the rest of the country.

FMLA For Flight Attendants

The two chambers of Congress will now meet to resolve some minor differences in the bills and then send it on for President Obama to officially sign it into law.
