Reid led passage of Small Business Jobs Act, which established this state grant

September 28, 2011

Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid today announced that Nevada Commission on Economic Development will receive $13,803,176 to help small businesses in Nevada grow and create jobs. The grant is part of the State Small Business Credit Initiative, which was created by the Small Businesses Jobs Act. Last year, Senator Reid led passage of the Small Business Jobs Act that provided $15 billion in business tax relief and hundreds of millions in loans to business owners.

“Small businesses are critical to Nevada’s job growth and economic recovery,” said Senator Reid. “These resources will give a much needed boost to our state’s entrepreneurs and help empower them to start putting people back to work.”

The Nevada Commission on Economic Development will use these funds to support small business lending through the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative (NMI) and a new Nevada Collateral Support Program. The Commission will provide up to $500,000 to NMI and the remainder will help entrepreneurs secure the loans they need to start up or grow their businesses.

Wow.

Reid secures $13.8 million for small business in Nevada;
Kerry secures $614K for small business in Mass;
Pelosi secures $787 million for HER brother-in-law in Calif.

Maybe Reid and Kerry need to break out the lipstick and knee-pads next time they meet with Chim Chim in the oval office. /s
