Six GOP Governors to Denounce EFCA Today
Ben Smith of Politico reports that six Republican Governors will make a public statement today in opposition to the bill currently pending in the U.S. House and Senate:
... South Carolina's Mark Sanford, Mississippi's Haley Barbour, Georgia's Sonny Perdue, Idaho's Butch Otter, South Dakota's Mike Rounds and Texas's Rick Perry will release a statement calling the labor-backed bill "absolutely unacceptable."
“Card check would take our state and nation in the exact opposite direction we need to be moving to become more competitive in the 21st Century," Sanford says. "In today's economy, the last thing in the world Congress should be advancing is a measure to increase costs for the American consumer and business community.”
Smith has additional advance excerpts in his piece. We will try to post additional coverage when it becomes available.
