Montana Senator Jon Tester Rallies Senate on Bill to Protect Anaconda and Trapper Creek Job Corps

U.S. Senator Jon Tester today rallied Republican and Democratic Senators to support his bill to protect the Anaconda and Trapper Creek Job Corps from closure or privatization.

Tester is partnering with Republican Senator John Boozman of Arkansas on a bill to guarantee that the Trump Administration cannot act unilaterally to close the Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers that successfully develop high skilled workers in Montana and across the country. Tester took to the Senate floor to urge others to join his efforts.

“This Administration, through their goal of making America great again, has forgotten about the things that make America great and have made America great,” Tester said on the Senate floor. “Whether it is the businesses who rely on Job Corps or the students who graduate, we need everyone in this chamber, Republicans and Democrats, to make sure that we have Job Corps around for our next generation and the generations after.”
