Press Releases

(Washington, DC) Today, Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) issued the following statement after voting against the extension of Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans:"The long-term costs of this bill are far more damaging to our nation than the short-term gains. Borrowing money to give tax cuts to the rich – tax cuts that are more than most families make in a year – is unconscionable. Economics shows this is a dead-end. History proves it would be disastrous. And basic morality dictates that our priorities should focus on making our economy work for everyone – not just the wealthy few."

(Louisville, KY) Congressman John Yarmuth and Governor Steve Beshear are pleased to announce significant, positive progress in the Commonwealth of Kentucky's application for a $100 million federal loan from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the development of Museum Plaza. Congressman Yarmuth received a letter from HUD Assistant Secretary Mercedes Marquez which states, in part, "HUD is optimistic that a [loan] commitment can be issued." And, upon receipt of the project receiving a commitment for the remaining $140.5 million construction loan and other administrative requirements, "HUD will move promptly to complete the process for issuance of a Section 108 commitment."
