Stachowski Praises 'Buy American'

Sen. William Stachowski praised Congress for including Buy American provisions in the final version of the economic recovery package.

“I’m pleased that Congress has included the Buy American provisions in the economic recovery package. Buy American provisions will ensure this recovery package puts thousands of Americans back to work and lays the foundation for a healthy economy over the long term,” Sen.Stachowski said.

Sen. Stachowski (D-Lake View), Chair of the NY Senate Commerce and Economic Development Committee, is meeting with the NY congressional delegation in Washington Thursday to discuss funding from the stimulus package and creating as many jobs as possible, as quickly as possible.

“Western New York has the green hydropower and industrial know-how to produce the energy efficient vehicles and renewable energy generating equipment that will move our country and the world forward in the 21st Century. And Western New Yorkers are some of the best workers in the state. We must do everything we can to give them an opportunity to earn a living.”

Sen. Stachowski said Congress must make certain the Administration implements the Buy America provisions in the bill. “I will continue to work with Congress on Buy American plans so that we can successfully rebuild American manufacturing industries for the future,” he said.

“When we use American steel to rebuild our bridges and roads, we create jobs in the steel industry as well as in the construction industry. The impact of every stimulus dollar multiplies when we spend it at home and keep it circulating in our communities.

“America’s economy and America’s middle class have been based on a strong, healthy manufacturing sector. In order to have a long term recovery, we must make goods that we use here at home and we can export to the rest of the world.”
