Date: December 8, 2010

Mayor Mark Mallory issues the following statement on President Obama’s bipartisan tax cuts package.

“President Obama made a tough call in developing a bipartisan package to extend the tax cuts and unemployment benefits and I’m glad that he did it.  In the end, the compromise was really about helping working families and those who are looking for work across the country.  Unemployment is still almost 10% in Cincinnati and the President refused to abandon those individuals just to make a political point.  Working families in Cincinnati should applaud the President’s leadership in helping to move the economy forward.”
