Where better to spend a Tuesday than Youngstown, Ohio?
I started the day at the United Way, talking about the #WorkingFamilies Tax Relief Act—which will boost the incomes of 114 million Americans, including more than 4 million Ohioans, & lift 3 million children out of poverty.
Next, I went over to @youngstownstate to visit with my friend, President @JimTressel5. Great to catch up, and talk about additive manufacturing. #YandProud
This afternoon, we met with the Eastgate Regional Council of Governments – and then we went on a tour of Youngstown’s SMART2 Corridor. I’m proud to have helped secure a BUILD grant to make this project possible: it will help provide reliable transportation around the city.
Our last stop of the day: we visited the Youngstown Air Reserve Station, and had a chance to thank some of the servicemembers dedicated to keeping our country safe.
The work done at YARS is critical to our national security – and the jobs it provides in the Mahoning Valley are invaluable. We learned last month that the President’s unnecessary border wall might take away important funding from YARS, and we can’t let that happen.
