Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On April 6, 2010, Schumer announced that he is pushing new legislation to vigorously address China's currency manipulation that unfairly and negatively impacts U.S. trade. If passed, the legislation would provide less flexibility to the Treasury Department when it comes to citing countries for currency manipulation. It would also impose stiff new penalties on countries that manipulate their currency, including possible tariffs on the countries' exports and a ban on any companies from those countries receiving U.S. government contracts. Schumer discussed his legislation in the Hudson Valley today at Brakewell Steel Fabricators, a Chester, New York based company that sees its sales and supply chains undercut by Chinese imports that are made cheaper by currency manipulation.
