Sen. Hertel Speaks Against Political Resolution

Published | Video Starts at 01:53

Again, many of the traps that people are falling in under the current process are the same traps they fell on before. And again you refuse to do nothing in order to solve it. Last week we had an amendment that failed upon partisan lines to spend $50 million on opening more local branches in order to help people and get them unemployment benefits. Allow them face to face meetings. Again, as stated before, leaders lead. Leaders do things. This is not that. Colleagues. My office had a town hall in unemployment. (01:53–02:09)

CLAIM

Asserts that a recent amendment to allocate $50 million for opening more local branches for unemployment benefits failed along partisan lines.
