Kaptur was responsible for adding the University of Toledo to the SAFETEA-LU Act of 2005 as a University Transportation Center.

"OAI is an important partner in our regional job creation strategy, said Kaptur. "Through partnership and innovation, OAI provides value in the aerospace industry. By creating an international alliance with Canada, OAI extends our reach on the continent as leaders in aviation, aerospace, and aeronautics."

"As a Polish-American, I fail to see the humor when the president of a university that is home to the Center for Slavic and East European Studies describes bureaucratic turf battles with administrators at his school as 'shooting each other...kind of like the Polish Army,'" said Kaptur. Nearly half a million Polish Americans reside in Ohio alone.

"My friends, the Reverend Doctor King was known for many great deeds, for his great leadership and for his eloquence.

One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King goes like this: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

Think about that statement.

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, welcoming the latest report showing 200,000 new jobs last month, this morning urged Congress and the Obama Administration to redouble efforts to address the jobs crisis in hard-hit areas such as Ohio.

"The economy added 1.6 million jobs last year, but we still have a long way to go in Ohio and other hard-hit areas of the country," said Kaptur.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has created a program to help consumers find answers on consumer financial products and services and respond to consumer complaints regarding the business practices of banks and other institutions supervised by the CFPB.

Consumer Response is currently handling complaints and inquiries related to:

• Credit cards

• Mortgages

Organizations throughout the Ninth Congressional District will receive more than $6 million in federal assistance to help the homeless, including $4.1 million in Toledo and Lucas County, according to U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH-9).

Kaptur announced a series of awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Continuum of Care initiative to combat homelessness.

Congresswoman Kaptur announced a total of 33 grants to more than a dozen organizations that provide services to homeless families and individuals throughout the District. Most of the grant announcements involved renewals of funding from last year.

Here we go again. Another phony crisis, courtesy of the extremists in the House Republican Caucus.

House Republicans have never met a deal that they couldn't find a reason to dislike. They abhor compromise so much that they've now resorted to fighting their colleagues in the other body in order to avoid doing something positive for the country such as cutting the payroll tax, or extending jobless benefits, or approving a Medicare fix for our doctors.
