WASHINGTON, D.C. – Stressing the need to help get residents back to work, properly fund local schools, hospitals, transportation and infrastructure, Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04) is pleased to announce that an additional $7 million in federal funding is headed to the Fourth District.

The money is part of the year-end $447 billion omnibus House appropriations, which focuses on the economy, workers, small businesses and veterans. The Senate approved the spending plan Dec. 13, and it now goes to President Obama’s desk for his signature.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Seeking to restore accountability to our financial system and protect American consumers, Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04) amended the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 this week.

H.R. 4173, which passed the House on Friday, reforms regulation of the financial services industry to prevent future crises and protect investors and borrowers from abuse.

Today, Rep. Hank Johnson introduced H. Res 950, which urges his House colleagues to support using unspent Troubled Asset Relief Program funds to create jobs.

“With unemployment in Atlanta and the nation stubbornly above 10 percent, we must do more to create jobs,” said Johnson. “Tapping unspent TARP funds can put people back to work by helping us break ground on more shovel-ready infrastructure projects, expand credit to small businesses and offer critical tax cuts.”
