Las Vegas Sun: House Poised for Historic Vote
"Titus also leaves a valuable imprint on the bill. She passed an amendment in committee to allow more small businesses to buy policies from the new health insurance exchange. The amendment was popular and expanded in the final House bill.  'The new bill has a lot of improvements and I’m glad to have been part of it,' Titus said this week. 'I’m ready to vote for it and move on to creating jobs.'"

Titus Votes to Extend Unemployment Benefits and First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

Titus Statement on Recovery Act Recipient Reporting
"With Nevada's unemployment at record levels, it is essential that we put the Recovery Act money to work as quickly as possible. Already 95 percent of Nevadans have seen more money in their paycheck from the largest package of tax cuts in history and the state has received money to help bridge its budget shortfall, saving teachers' jobs across the state."

Titus: Recovery Act Sending $138 Million to NV Energy for Smart Grid Technologies
“This significant investment in smart grid technologies in Nevada will help lower energy bills and reduce consumption by empowering consumers to make smart choices about their energy use.  In addition to securing and strengthening our energy supply, upgrading our energy infrastructure will jumpstart job creation across a number of sectors while spurring growth in Nevada’s growing renewable energy industry.”

Titus: Travel Promotion Act is Vital to Southern Nevada
"This act will bring millions of additional travelers to the United States at no cost to our taxpayers.  It will create a public-private partnership to promote our nation as a leading international travel destination and it will communicate U.S. security and entry policies to people abroad.  It is estimated that the program will generate $4 billion in new spending and $321 million in new federal tax revenue annually."

Titus: ‘The House Has Taken Important Steps to Help Nevadans During This Challenging Time’
"We also passed legislation that I was proud to introduce to protect seniors from higher Medicare premiums.  With the recession taking a toll on retirement savings, many seniors cannot afford to pay higher Medicare costs that eat away at their Social Security benefits.  My bill will protect seniors at a time when they are counting on every dollar to get by."

Titus and Berkley Seek Answers to Slow Spending on Recovery Act Transportation Projects
“It is inexcusable that Nevada ranked 46 out of 51 in its implementation of this critical component of the Recovery Act. Unemployment in Nevada is 12.5 percent, the third worst in the nation. Successful implementation of the Recovery Act, and particularly its transportation and infrastructure programs, is essential to create and sustain middle-class jobs in our State. We urge you to take the steps necessary to ensure that Nevada improves its implementation of the Recovery Act to create jobs in Southern Nevada and across the State.”

Titus: Recovery Package Providing Assistance to Nevadans
"But already, the economic recovery package that Congress passed is beginning to provide assistance to 95 percent of Nevadans in the form of tax cuts.  Over the past few months, the Making Work Pay Tax Credit has put extra money in the pockets of workers.  Nevada has also received more than $75 million to extend unemployment benefits for those struggling to find work."

KVVU Channel 5: Titus Helps Police Station Go Green
"'Not only is it good for the planet, it's good for Henderson to get those federal dollars, and it's good for Nevada because it creates jobs. We need jobs for people to install these kind of facilities, develop them, work on them – so, I think it's win-win-win,' Titus said."

Las Vegas Sun: Reid, Titus, Horsford: Green Energy Means More Nevada Jobs
"'And these are jobs that can't be shipped overseas because this is where the sun is, the wind, the geothermal, the biomass," Titus said. "This is where those jobs will be.'  Titus cited the National Wildlife Federation in saying that Nevada has the potential to generate more than 52 percent of its electricity from wind and 46 percent from geothermal.  'We can definitely be a leader in the production market,' she said."

Titus: House Energy Bill Will Create Jobs and Make Nevada a Leader on Renewable Energy
“This legislation makes important investments in renewable energy that can help create jobs right here in Nevada and take advantage of our abundant natural resources.  We have seen the devastating effects of rising gas prices and what happens when we are subject to the whims of OPEC.  This bill would help reduce our dependence on oil from the Middle East and put us on the path to a clean energy economy.”

Titus Amendment Will Create Clean Energy Jobs and Promote Deployment of Renewable Energy
"It will drive demand for new clean energy technologies and help create new clean energy jobs.  Indeed, we will be leading by example."

Rising Unemployment Numbers Underscore Need for Economic Recovery Package
"Nevadans have seen their economic security erode month after month, day after day as the economic news continues to get worse.  This week, the House will take action on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will begin to address the rapid rise in unemployment that is hurting Nevada’s families."

Titus: New Unemployment Numbers a Reminder that Job Creation Must Be Top Priority
"Today’s dismal jobs report is another stark reminder that we must take action, and we must take action soon to end this economic crisis and create jobs that put Nevadans back to work.  As the unemployment rate rises across the country, the Third District has been hit especially hard as families struggle to make ends meet."

Titus’ Opening Remarks at Field Hearing on the Workforce Investment Act
"I am encouraged by the enthusiasm with which the Education and Labor Committee has taken on the task of reauthorizing the Workforce Investment Act.  This important legislation is one of our many efforts to fix the economy, and I stand committed to work with my colleagues on the Committee and in the spirit of bipartisanship to take Nevada and our nation in a new direction."
