Now her 2012 Wish list,
2012 Priorities
Jobs remain Senator Hagan’s number one priority for 2012. Thanks to North Carolina’s first-class universities, community colleges and work ethic, Senator Hagan knows that our workers can be well-prepared to fill the next-generation jobs coming to our state. She will continue her efforts to connect workforce development officers, educators, and out-of-work North Carolinians so that our workers are ready for the jobs that are coming available.
Senator Hagan is committed to strengthening the U.S. economy by fighting for comprehensive deficit reduction and fostering a robust business environment. As the deficit reduction debate continues, Senator Hagan will work to protect investments in education, infrastructure, and research and development.
As our brave servicemembers return from Iraq, Senator Hagan will continue fighting for the support and care these men and women and their families have earned. Whether it is timely and accessible health care, opportunities to further their education, or connecting their skill sets to civilian job opportunities, Senator Hagan will continue to make North Carolina the most military-friendly state in the nation for our veterans.
But she left this one complete out. the one where she on the behalf of Corp America,, Yes she won’t to take the over time pay from those whom work in the IT field, which we all know once you do one job field the others will slowly be done too.. Like those who work in the Nursing Fields… she is help Corp America via back room deals.. She has been a Senator also most three years and she is just a crooked as the rest of them.. Boy she is a fast learner isn’t she.. Just how rich will she be at the end of her term?????
