Phone Interview with Sage Eastman

Sage Eastman, the PR secretary for David Camp, the congressman looking over Mid-Michigan, spoke with me today about the senator's stance on the issues.

"The economy needs to have greater attention paid to it," said Eastman. "I mean, when we have the president signing the brackets for the NCAA, I think you know it's time to focus more on the economy."

When mentioning the job loss in Michigan, Eastman said, "We're losing thousands of jobs daily."

We talked briefly as well about the stimulus package that was passed recently, as Eastman replied, "David Camp is opposed to the stimulus because it spends way too much money that doesn't affect the economy right now. It does very little to stimulate growth. Even Mark Zandi, a private economist, said that it would take years to implement the parts of the stimulus package."

When asked about what Sen. David Camp thinks would help stimulate the economy, Eastman suggested that Camp advocates for "tax relief for families and small businesses."
