Two media releases from Latta: Unemployment & Small Business Summit
The following two media releases were received from the office of Congressman Bob Latta:
LATTA CO-SPONSORS BILL TO SUSPEND TAX ON UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
WASHINGTON- Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) recently signed on as a co-sponsor of H.R. 155, a bill introduced by Congressman John McHugh (R-NY) that would provide a two-year suspension of the federal income tax on unemployment compensation. If passed, the average beneficiary would receive an addition $117 in monthly income.
“Taxing unemployment benefits only harms individuals and families who rely on this money during these tough economic times. As unemployment and jobless rates continue to rise, it is important to provide as much help as possible while people work to get back on their feet. This bill should receive immediate consideration for final passage and I look forward to working with members in a bi-partisan fashion to pass this important piece of legislation as soon as possible.”
LATTA TO HOST SMALL BUSINESS SUMMIT
WASHINGTON- Congressman Latta (R-Bowling Green) will host a Small Business Summit on Wednesday, April 15th at Owens Community College Toledo-area campus from 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M.
The Small Business Summit is designed to gather feedback and share ideas among small business owners. The Summit will also have panelists from various public and private sector organizations who will share insight and strategy for small business owners during this economic downturn.
The Small Business Summit is open to all small business owners in the Fifth Congressional District. Attendees should RSVP with Congressman Latta’s Bowling Green District Office at (800) 541-6446.
To my little friend from earthlink who likes to send me hate mail? Thanks for pointing out I missed an “s” in releases in the headline. As to your question of am I a:
“Bad journalist or home/mom dilettante…you decide.”
I’m not a journalist…
April 9th, 2009 at 7:46 amwow, sounds like someone’s trying to impress you with a big, beauwwwtiful vocabulary Lisa
We girls know what that means ….. I think it’s cute. (Some guys hit that age and just go out and buy a hair piece and a convertible.)
For the record – I thought you were a blogger and not a journalist? I would have been so much nicer – used spell check etc….
Who knew?
April 9th, 2009 at 9:55 amLisa, some are now going to accuse you for having a “thing” for Latta now that you are posting this. I just want to warn you.
April 9th, 2009 at 6:27 pmCome on Mr. Latta. Isn’t this move going to increase our deficit?
Weren’t things alot simpler when Bob and Randy Gardner used to trade offices every few years to do an end run around term limits?
There’s nothing like a lifetime of feeding at the public trough, especially when you constantly bemoan government and its workings!
April 9th, 2009 at 9:39 pmDear “veils” thank you for your additional missive as an email in response to my comment. You might want to talk to your journalism buddies about what constitutes an “off the record” email. You’d first have to ask for it to be “off the record” and I’d have to agree, which you didn’t do, nor did I, which means all of your emails are sharable, as well as helping me with my new book project, “Asshats Among Us”.
If you ever have the guts to post here or to email me directly without trying to use earthlink’s free “mypacks.net” which really doesn’t do a great job in “protecting” you? You know where to find me and then I just might take you a bit more seriously. Doubtful, but possible. Until then? Thank you for your vigilance in pointing out typo’s that I make. Thankfully I don’t treat those who submit information to this blog the same way you do, or else we’d be buried in silly minutia rather than real issues.
April 10th, 2009 at 2:03 amChris, considering I post a variety of press releases from candidates many would know I don’t personally agree with, but do so for my readership? I’m not worried.
But thanks for your concern.

1. A minor detail, often of negligible importance.
Thanks for proving the point. I suppose I should add “carry on” back at you.
April 10th, 2009 at 2:20 amMark, the problem with your comment is that it can not be said that some Democrats act any differently.
It has become nothing more than a game to many, blame the party in power, then when in power blame the other party for whatever you can to take the attention off while continuing to play musical chairs for as long as the voters allow it.
We as voters are supposed to play the game, blame the other party while justifying when members of our own party do the exact same thing that “it’s different” or my personal favorite, “they did it to us” — which means, it’s wrong if “they” do it but okay if “we” do it. I don’t buy that….
April 10th, 2009 at 2:32 amLisa,
Most Democrats don’t “bemoan government and its workings” and engage in a “lifetime of feeding at the public trough”, they skip the bemoaning part and simply take the lifetime of feeding part.
It’s one thing to do everything you can do to stay in government when you believe it can solve problems, it’s quite another to hold on like grim death when you consider it (government) to be evil. Therein lies the difference. I would agree that it would be nice if “politicians” of both parties would try the private sector so they can have a feel for what every day people go through. A lifetime of perks, decent wages and good benefits can blind some to what the “average Joe or Josephine” endures in the private sector.
April 10th, 2009 at 7:32 amSorry to hear it Lisa Rene’. One who persists in emailing but won’t comment publicly smacks of a stalker….
I thought it sounded like just a little crush…use caution.
April 10th, 2009 at 8:47 amMark, Democrats who are not elected or not in the majority “bemoan government and it’s workings” just as much as Republicans who are not yet elected or are in the minority.
It’s a giant game that both parties play, with both sides pointing the finger at the other one instead of actually working together for solutions. In part because we not only allow it, but we participate in the blame game.
Our party worked to become the majority in Ohio and in the nation, it’s now our responsibility to fix things. It’s impossible for me to be a hypocrite on this when the Republicans were in control, many Democrats did not act very different from what Latta is doing. Look at our elected representation in DC and Ohio, how many of those elected could not be called “career politicians”….
We put a lot of lip service into wanting elected officials to represent us, but the reality is on both sides we continue to return career politicians back to office time and time again. The political machine in both parties and their various financial support systems are designed specifically to do this. It’s not who is the best candidate, it’s who plays the political party games the best…
April 10th, 2009 at 11:44 amTHIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN A LATTA SUPPORT AN ITEM FOR THE WORKING CLASS BOTH DALBERT AND ROBERT ARE NEO-CONS, NOW LETS HOPE BOB SIGN ON AND SUPPORTS ‘CARD CHECK’.
