RELEASE: "Austria: Economy is Number One Issue"

Release:

Springfield, Ohio- Senator Steve Austria (R-Beavercreek) released the following statement regarding the national employment figures released [yesterday]:

"Our economy is the number one issue we are faced with today. We must invest in our economy to ensure businesses grow and create jobs. That is why I have supported lowering gas prices through a comprehensive energy plan that includes drilling for American oil as well as making the temporary tax cuts permanent. Our economy is suffering from high gas prices and high energy costs and we cannot afford the tax increases the Democrat Congress and my opponent have proposed."

Because of his support of sound economic policies, Senator Steve Austria has been endorsed for Congress by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business, The Business Industry Political Action Committee, The Ohio Society of CPAs, and the Ohio Farm Bureau among others.
