Congressmen Jordan and Latta speak at Clydescope’s economic development meeting
About 100 business people heard the two Republicans criticize federal tax, regulatory and energy policy at the 16th annual meeting.
Two members of Congress spoke Thursday at the 16th annual meeting of the Clydescope Economic Development Corp. in Clyde: Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, who is running in the redrawn 4th District that will include Sandusky and Huron counties, and Bob Latta, R-Bowling Green, whose 5th District includes all of Sandusky County until the new map takes effect. Ohio lost two House seats after the 2010 census.
Nearly 100 business people, local officials and guests heard the two lawmakers discuss issues facing the country. Jordan said the administration had the wrong tax, regulatory and energy policies and said the national debt had grown from about $10 trillion toward $15 trillion. He warned that within a decade interest on the debt could exceed military spending, and called 2012 a watershed election.
