House is back on the floor today -- focus is on jobs

The House returns to floor action this morning, and at the top of the agenda is repassing a list of bills that were returned to us when the regular session ended last Thursday night.

We will start with the first bill passed in January -- the JOBS Act of 2010 -- followed by the Washington Works housing act and Opportunity Express.

The JOBS Act and Washington Works housing act are predicted to create over 45,000 construction jobs, as well as thousands of support and service jobs, over the next few years. Both passed the House earlier this year but did not receive a vote in the Senate. We are hoping for better things this time!
