| Where I Stand on Health Care Legislation |
| 11/6/09 | |
The
health care bill released last week does not make enough significant changes to
earn my support. From the beginning of this debate, I have been opposed
to the government option and any legislation that puts additional burdens on
our small businesses and tax-paying citizens. H.R. 3962 contains a
government option and surcharges and mandates on small businesses and
individuals. People and small businesses across the country are struggling
to make ends meet and this is no time to place additional burdens on them. |

| Bright Votes to Extend Homebuyers’ Tax Credit, Unemployment Benefits for Alabama Families, and Tax |
| 11/5/09 | |
|
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Bobby Bright voted for legislation to extend the homebuyers’ tax credit and unemployment benefits for Alabama families. The bill also contains additional tax relief for businesses experiencing net operating losses in 2008 or 2009. Bright previously sponsored a bill that would have extended and expanded the homebuyers’ tax credit, and voted for the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2009 when it first came for a vote in September. H.R. 3458, which has passed the Senate and will now go to the President’s desk, also makes military families’ mortgage payments tax exempt. The bill passed by a bi-partisan 403 – 12 margin. |
