Con la reforma financiera en el punto de mira en Washington, DC, Merkley le dijo al grupo que necesita conocer los desaf\u00edos que enfrentan las peque\u00f1as empresas.<\/p>\n<p>Varias historias relatadas de c\u00f3mo los proyectos est\u00e1n en suspenso porque no hay financiaci\u00f3n disponible.<\/p>\n<p>Maryl Featherstone, propietaria y presidenta de Graybeal Distributing, dijo que ha postergado la expansi\u00f3n de su negocio de distribuci\u00f3n de cerveza y vino debido a la nueva legislaci\u00f3n federal de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y porque los votantes de Oreg\u00f3n aprobaron impuestos m\u00e1s altos para los ciudadanos y las empresas m\u00e1s ricos del estado. Eso equivale a una p\u00e9rdida de $320,000 en el flujo de efectivo, dijo, que reduce la capacidad de la empresa para endeudarse.<\/p>\n<p>El propietario de un hotel local, Vijay Patel, dijo que tiene cinco proyectos hoteleros en tr\u00e1mite, cuatro en Oreg\u00f3n, pero nadie est\u00e1 prestando.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComo persona de una peque\u00f1a empresa, no puedo crecer\u201d, dijo Patel.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Moran, presidente y director ejecutivo de Community Bank, dijo que los proyectos de Patel est\u00e1n mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del alcance de la capacidad crediticia de su banco. Y Norm Winters, tambi\u00e9n de Community Bank, dijo que algunos programas federales para alentar los pr\u00e9stamos incluyen regulaciones que no ayudan. Los proyectos de Patel, por ejemplo, podr\u00edan calificar para un pr\u00e9stamo del USDA, dijo Winters, si los hoteles no incluyeran piscinas.<\/p>\n<p>Ese es el tipo de cosas, dijo, que muestra la desconexi\u00f3n entre los legisladores en el capitolio de la naci\u00f3n y las consecuencias a nivel local.<\/p>\n<p>Merkley dijo que la reforma financiera necesita cortafuegos para separar la inversi\u00f3n de alto riesgo de los pr\u00e9stamos para que las malas inversiones no destruyan el lado de los pr\u00e9stamos de una instituci\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n dijo que los legisladores deben abordar los conflictos de intereses en las instituciones financieras para que la gente sepa a d\u00f3nde va el dinero. Y debe haber m\u00e1s regulaciones para evitar que las malas inversiones creen un efecto domin\u00f3 en la econom\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTodas estas cosas son clave para que los pr\u00e9stamos vuelvan a funcionar en Main Street\u201d, dijo Merkley.<\/p>\n<p>El senador tambi\u00e9n dijo que la reforma financiera no ser\u00e1 la lucha que fue la reforma del cuidado de la salud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreo que hay un sentido bipartidista de que las reglas de Wall Street deben reescribirse\u201d, dijo. \u201cHay alguna diferencia sobre c\u00f3mo hacerlo, y tendremos enmiendas que aborden esas diferencias. Pero creo que hay un entendimiento de que el statu quo realmente se rompi\u00f3\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El senador tambi\u00e9n dijo que la reforma debe estar del lado del pueblo estadounidense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNecesitamos asegurarnos de que los contratos financieros de los consumidores no tengan trucos ni trampas ocultas en la p\u00e1gina 45\u201d, dijo Merkley, \u201cpara que las personas puedan elegir entre opciones justas, sabiendo que no est\u00e1n siendo estafadas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de Pendleton, Merkley se dirigi\u00f3 al dep\u00f3sito qu\u00edmico de Umatilla para echar un vistazo y ver el futuro del sitio despu\u00e9s de que los militares destruyeran las armas qu\u00edmicas all\u00ed. El s\u00e1bado, el senador llevar\u00e1 a cabo una reuni\u00f3n en el ayuntamiento a la 1:30 pm en Boardman y luego otra a las 4:30 en Pendleton High School.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Pendleton business community Friday told Oregon Sen.
