Sewell Introduces Southeastern Tax Relief Act

Statement

As we continue down the long road to recovery, it is critical that we provide communities with the resources and opportunities they need to repair, rebuild, and move forward. That is why on June 23, I introduced the Southeastern Tax Relief Act of 2011 with my colleague Rep. Spencer Bachus. This bipartisan disaster relief legislation will help provide tax incentives for homeowners, businesses and the agriculture industry so that they can rebuild. The bill will aid communities in their effort to rebuild and strengthen infrastructure, and it will spur investment. In conjunction with the federal assistance already provided by FEMA, the Department of Agriculture and the Small Business Administration, this legislation will help our communities recover and come out stronger than before.
