FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Congressman DesJarlais Visits Miller Drilling Co. on Job Creators Tour
From the March 23, 2011 issue of Lawrence County Advocate
Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-4th District), is embarking on a districtwide “Tennessee Job Creators” tour. This tour is part of a continued effort by the congressman to have an open discussion with Tennessee job creators, entrepreneurs and innovators on ways the Federal government can foster economic growth and create jobs in the private sector.
On Monday, Congressman DesJarlais made stops in The Timken Corporation in Pulaski as well as Cornerstone Rack and Tooling, Miller Drilling Company and the DaVita Dialysis center all here in Lawrenceburg. On Tuesday, he made stops in Franklin and Mt. Pleasant. Additional stops on the Tennessee Job Creators tour are planned for the coming days and weeks.
“Our nation has always had the ability to promote great entrepreneurship by fostering an environment that allows businesses to grow and flourish. Maintaining a strong business climate is vital if we want to create jobs and keep our nation globally competitive,” said Congressman Scott DesJarlais. “I want to make sure that Washington is doing everything possible to help businesses succeed. I also want to know of instances where Washington places too many regulatory burdens on business so that I can work with my colleagues in Congress to eliminate these cumbersome federal regulations.”
Additionally, the congressman is participating in the “Listening to America’s Job Creators” program launched by the Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs, one of the three committees on which DesJarlais is serving in the 112th Congress.
Individuals in the Fourth District that are interested in joining this open discussion can provide input by visiting the congressman’s Web site, www.DesJarlais.house.gov, and clicking on the “Listening to America’s Job Creators” button on the homepage. They will then be provided a form where they can identify federal government regulations they’ve encountered– either as a business owner or an employee – that impede the growth and success of business. Congressman DesJarlais has already received several submissions from constituents in his district and will be meeting with a number of these individuals in the coming weeks to continue the conversation.
At the conclusion of the “Tennessee Job Creators” tour, Congressman DesJarlais’ office will be compiling a report using information gained from business owners in his district, as well as from submissions to his Web site, to present to his colleagues on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
