Congressman Joe Baca Visits A&R Tarpaulins Inc.
FONTANA, August 29, 2011 - Congressman Joe Baca (D-Rialto) is set to visit A&R Tarpaulins Inc. September 1, 2011. He will tour the plant and congratulate the Fontana-based manufacturer on its recent accomplishments.
"I believe we should support businesses like A&R Tarpaulins that make products in America and don't outsource jobs," Congressman Baca said. "When products are made in America, people are employed in America, helping to stimulate the economy. The entire country benefits as a result."
