Walz Stands with Main Street, Votes Yes on Wall Street Reform

Statement

Today, after reviewing the details of the final legislation and consulting with southern Minnesotans, Rep. Walz voted in favor of Wall Street Reform legislation.

Congressman Walz and his staff traveled around southern Minnesota seeking input from southern Minnesotans as Congress debated Wall Street Reform. As small business owners, local officials, and residents lent their voices to the debate, they made it clear that reform was necessary to protect Main Street.

Today, Congressman Walz released the following statement:

"Hard-working people in the heartland of America are the folks who power our economic engine and make America great. For far too long, they have been asked to play by the rules while Wall Street wrecked our economy with irresponsible decisions and gambled away our personal savings and retirement investments. With the passage of this bill, we are demanding that Wall Street starts playing by the same common-sense rules Main Street does."
