McClatchy Washington Bureau, January 4, 2014
WASHINGTON — Sen. Richard Burr, a former
businessman in North Carolina, says he wants the federal government to put the
Small Business Administration inside a new agency that combines the departments
of Commerce and Labor.
Burr says the move would eliminate
duplicative programs that cost the government “staggering amounts of money
every year.”
One critic of Burr’s pending legislation,
the American Small Business League, has been asserting that the proposal would
close the Small Business Association, leaving many businesses without federal
help to secure loans and get federal contracts.
