Washington, DC \u2013 El Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley, miembro del Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones del Senado, asegur\u00f3 inversiones en una amplia gama de prioridades de Oreg\u00f3n en el proyecto de ley de gastos federales aprobado hoy por el Senado. Las disposiciones defendidas por Merkley ayudar\u00e1n a que los habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n trabajen en los bosques reduciendo la amenaza de incendios forestales, garantizar\u00e1n el mantenimiento y la disponibilidad de infraestructura cr\u00edtica para el negocio, como puertos, aeropuertos, carreteras y puentes, y ayudar\u00e1n a los veteranos que regresan de la guerra con la b\u00fasqueda de empleo y cuidado de la salud mental. <\/p>\n
El proyecto de ley bipartidista tambi\u00e9n revertir\u00e1 los da\u00f1inos recortes de secuestro a Head Start que sacaron del programa a m\u00e1s de 800 estudiantes de Oreg\u00f3n, y permitir\u00e1 que 90,000 ni\u00f1os adicionales en todo el pa\u00eds se inscriban en Early Head Start. Restaurar la financiaci\u00f3n de Head Start ha sido una prioridad de Merkley.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cComo miembro del Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones, es mi trabajo luchar por las prioridades de Oreg\u00f3n y la prioridad n\u00famero uno de Oreg\u00f3n es asegurar que las familias de clase media tengan trabajos bien remunerados\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cMe complace haber ayudado a asegurar inversiones para nuestras comunidades madereras, nuestros puertos, la fabricaci\u00f3n de alta tecnolog\u00eda y nuestros veteranos\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdem\u00e1s, la inversi\u00f3n ampliada en Head Start y la educaci\u00f3n K-12 ser\u00e1 valiosa para nuestros ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os y sus distritos escolares superpoblados\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Prevenci\u00f3n de incendios forestales<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
La Administraci\u00f3n hab\u00eda presionado para cortar el programa de reducci\u00f3n de combustibles peligrosos, que ya contaba con una financiaci\u00f3n insuficiente significativa. Al mismo tiempo, los incendios son cada vez m\u00e1s grandes e intensos. Merkley presion\u00f3 para obtener la mayor cantidad posible de fondos para combustibles peligrosos y logr\u00f3 financiar este programa en $150 millones por encima de lo que el presidente solicit\u00f3 en su presupuesto.<\/p>\n
Torres FAA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Debido a los recortes de gastos en la Administraci\u00f3n Federal de Aviaci\u00f3n por el secuestro, las torres de control en cinco de los aeropuertos de Oreg\u00f3n, North Bend, Pendleton, Salem, Portland-Troutdale y Klamath Falls, deb\u00edan cerrarse. Merkley luch\u00f3 para garantizar que las torres de control de estos y otros peque\u00f1os aeropuertos permanecieran abiertas.<\/p>\n
Programa de Integraci\u00f3n Cinta Amarilla<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
El Programa de Integraci\u00f3n Yellow Ribbon ha tenido \u00e9xito en la prevenci\u00f3n de suicidios de veteranos y en la conexi\u00f3n de veteranos con trabajos cuando regresan a casa, dos temas que son muy importantes para las familias militares de Oreg\u00f3n. El presidente hab\u00eda eliminado este programa en su solicitud de presupuesto y Merkley luch\u00f3 con \u00e9xito para mantenerlo. <\/span><\/p>\n
Puertos Peque\u00f1os<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Los puertos peque\u00f1os son el alma de nuestras comunidades costeras y, sin fondos para el mantenimiento y el dragado de los canales, podr\u00edan desaparecer. Desafortunadamente, sin un flujo de financiamiento dedicado, los puertos peque\u00f1os a menudo tienen problemas para competir con los puertos m\u00e1s grandes por las subvenciones. Merkley luch\u00f3 y asegur\u00f3 $40 millones en fondos dedicados para puertos peque\u00f1os. En el a\u00f1o fiscal 2013 no hubo financiamiento dedicado y en el a\u00f1o fiscal 2012 hubo $30 millones.<\/p>\n
Financiamiento del transporte<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Las inversiones en infraestructura inteligente hacen que nuestras carreteras, puentes y puertos sean m\u00e1s seguros y permiten que nuestras empresas sigan siendo competitivas en la econom\u00eda global. Merkley luch\u00f3 por el programa Inversiones en Transporte que Generan Recuperaci\u00f3n Econ\u00f3mica (TIGER, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), que otorga subvenciones a las comunidades para mejorar las costosas necesidades de transporte de superficie. Las subvenciones TIGER ayudaron a reemplazar el puente Sellwood en ruinas y a realizar mejoras en el Puerto de Garibaldi, por ejemplo. <\/p>\n
El programa "Nuevos comienzos" financia nuevos servicios de tr\u00e1nsito para mejorar el acceso y facilitar los viajes diarios. Tanto el proyecto de tren ligero de Portland-Milwaukie como el proyecto Em-X del Distrito de Tr\u00e1nsito de Lane dependen de New Starts, para el cual Merkley ayud\u00f3 a obtener $1.943 mil millones.<\/p>\n
