Help For New Mexico Businesses
by U.S. Senator Tom Udall
This week, the Senate reconvened in Washington after the summer work period in our districts, and the first order of business was tackling a long-stalled small business jobs bill.
Believe it or not, all summer this commonsense bill was repeatedly blocked by a filibuster. Thankfully, after months of obstruction, we succeeded in overcoming the filibuster and passing this measure to help New Mexico’s small businesses create jobs and regain access to private capital.
Throughout the financial crisis, small business owners have continually told me, “I can’t get access to credit. And because I can’t get access to credit, I can’t grow.”
